The thing to remember about a stray vampire is that there is probably a good reason he is friendless, alone, and wounded. Approach with caution. Iris Scanlon, Half-Moon Hollows only daytime vampire concierge, knows more about the undead than shed like. Running their daylight errandsfrom letting in the plumber to picking up some chilled Faux Type Ogives her a look at the not-so-glamorous side of vamps. Her rules are strict; relationships are purely business, not friendshipand certainly not anything more. Then she finds her newest client, Cal, poisoned on his kitchen floor, and her quiet life turns upside down. Calwho would be devastatingly sexy, if Iris thought vampires were sexyoffers Iris a hefty fee for hiding him at her place. And even though hes imperious, unfriendly, and doesnt seem to understand the difference between employee and servant, she agrees. But as they search for who wants him permanently dead, Iris is breaking more and more of her own rules . . . particularly those about nudity. Could it be that what she really needs is some intrigue and romanceand her very own stray vampire?
