A little blood between friends. Phlebotomist Alexis Cavill has wanted to jump her best friend since he died. Well... Not died died, but more became undead. When you nearly lose the person closest to you, it can put some things into perspective. At least it did for her. Buying the perfect dress was just the beginning of her grand plans 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. He was done waiting. He hoped she felt the same way too. Sparks or flame out? A shift in their relationship was scary, but perhaps not as scary as the new local arsonist. But, which will burn hotter, the flames Sean was fighting or the ones between them?
