"How long have you been enfeebled for?”

“I’m not enfeebled."

Kindhearted Josephine Pajimula is running out of time. Her best friend and roommate is engaged, which means Josephine needs to find a place to live fast! But apartments in the suburbs of Seattle are expensive on a baker's salary. Just when things feel hopeless, a man literally falls into her path during a Halloween party.

Eadwulf is a little... weird. He has an eccentric way of talking, doesn't know what a cell phone is, and judging by his costume, he's really into vampires. Luckily, he's easy on the eyes and surprisingly charming.

When Josephine helps the disoriented man, her goal is to get him home safely. But Eadwulf has something else up his sleeve—or rather, cape. He could solve her problems, but fate has a funny sense of humor. Eadwulf isn't cosplaying a vampire... he's a real vampire with an offer Josephine can't refuse.
