[Lupine Bay 01] • Heaven Sent

**I'm a perfectly normal twenty-one year old, ask anyone! I spend my days working, chasing my little brother, and hanging with my best friend, Rue. Nothing ever happens in our little town, and that's the way I like it. Which is why I do my best to ignore the mysterious new regular at the bar -- Rue thinks I should take him for a ride, but I'm not so sure I'd survive.**

*They think I'm not payin' attention, but I always am. Always waiting for an attack. Fae don't get to be my age without being paranoid, grizzled bastards. Plenty of people have tried to kill me -- not an insignificant number of them from Heaven.*

**His friend is gorgeous too, but so sophisticated -- I doubt I've got a chance in hell with him.**

*"What about the girl?" I ask, eyes traveling back to Ava, admiring the stubborn slant of her brow. She's the kind of feisty woman that's hard to crack, but so satisfying when they finally submit.*

**Of course, I could always team up with the IRS agent who's investigating them. I don't want to snitch on my customers, but how can I turn away a man that looks that good in a suit?**

*The story never changes. Humans are always reactive, barbaric, requiring far too much care and finesse for my liking. Luckily, there is another part of humans that never changes -- respect for authority.*

**Did the door just slam? *Crap*. I may as well admit it -- I've got the hots for FOUR different men!**

*I should've had the sense to walk into this place quietly, to take stock of things before making my presence known. If I'd walked in quietly, I could've backed out just as quiet, no one the wiser.*

**The shops are charming, the residents are gorgeous, and the beer is hot cold. Welcome to Lupine Bay -- a beach town so enthralling you'll just ***have*** to stay!**​
