Nuni
Look, I'm an extremely busy, handsome, and charming guy. I am a paragon of physical perfection. I run a wildly successful architecture firm, and I take care of my family. I don't have time to organize a tenth-anniversary party for my business, so it just makes sense to hire someone else to do the work.
Except as soon as I see my new event planner, Anita Chaudhary, with her dark eyes, no-nonsense attitude, and sensible shoes, I decide that maybe I should be involved in the process. Just, you know, for the sake of being thorough. But mainly so I can keep butting heads with her.
She's competitive, cool-headed, and infuriatingly competent, all of which I begrudgingly find attractive. And those sensible shoes of hers drive me wild.
But she's also human. And we all know that humans and demiurgus don't exactly mix…
Anita
Nuni var Rorik is arrogant, pompous, egotistical, vain, bullheaded… need I go on?
He's a frat boy in an expensive suit. A know-it-all. A big, muscular demiurgus with perfect hair, flawless skin, and a distractingly beautiful face. He rankles me like no one else. But I can't stay away from him.
Which is definitely not good. I'm his event planner, and my boss is extremely strict when it comes to… ahem… client relations.
When our barbed words and competitive needling explode into something hotter than it has any right being, my job and reputation are on the line. I can't stand the thought of being seen as irresponsible or less than the best, but I can't stop myself when it comes to him.
So we just have to keep it a secret.
Shots and Barbs is an MF monster/human romcom and the second book in the Deep Earth Dating series, which features a range of diverse pairings and is for mature listeners.
