After watching his best friend Diego Saint-Jude be in a perfect relationship with Port Draven's resident sheriff, Johnathon Asher, Christian is happy for them. He swears.

... Alright, fine. He was currently a miserable, lovesick idiot, pining for a man that refused to give him the time of day unless he absolutely had to. He'll just have to come to terms with the fact that he's forever alone, with only fictional vampires to keep him company. 

Erin isn't exactly thrilled with the idea of his best friend (and boss) being in a serious relationship with Diego. Of course, it's none of his business. Too bad Asher dating Saint-Jude meant Erin had to deal with _him_ on a nearly daily basis. Christian Smith was a man that oozed so much charm and sex appeal that Erin constantly wondered how the hell he was single-- until their jobs forced him to interact with the lawyer. 

With both their best friends deciding to play matchmaker, will Christian and Erin's lives in the small costal town serve to stay boring, or will a few post-work happy hours work magic of their own?
