Adoring Alexis: Love Wars, #2.5

By Michelle Mars

A little blood between friends.
 

Phlebotomist Alexis Cavill has wanted to jump her best friend since he died. Well… Not died died, just became undead. When you nearly lose the person closest to you, it puts some things into perspective. At least it did for her. Buying the perfect dress was only the beginning of her grand plan to take a chance.
 

Putting it all on the line.
 

Firefighter Sean Butler liked to live on the edge. He didn't realize that edge would include becoming a vampire. Since then, he'd tried to tell his best friend how he felt about her, but never found the right moment. He was done waiting. He hoped she felt the same way too.
 

Will they spark or flame out?
 

A shift in their relationship was scary, but not as scary as the new local arsonist keeping firefighters, including Sean, working overtime to put out the flames. Meanwhile, the ones between them keep growing.

Warning: Dressing room disaster, public indecency, and a deep appreciation for coffee.

Content Warning: Near-death experience, injuries from an attack, fire, smoke inhalation, and eating.

** About half of Adoring Alexis was previously published in the 1001 Dark Nights Shorts **
