Eliza Latimer was an idealistic undergraduate. Now, she's a cog in a corporate machine that she's come to hate. In an ill-advised fit of righteous indignation, she sends a series of emails to her bosses and their bosses. Expecting to be fired, she's invited to an exclusive executive retreat by her incredibly handsome boss, Italian billionaire, Alessandro Neroni. Her reservations are well founded, but Eliza has some surprises of her own.
On the opposite side of the country, all Nick Assencio wants is to pick up his girlfriend on their sixth anniversary, but a terrorist attack on the lab where he works upends his date and his life. Hunted by the oldest and most nefarious cabal in human history, he has no choice but to team up with a semi-immortal, chain-smoking, alcoholic who can manipulate a fifth force of nature in what appears to be magic. An extra-dimensional bar, a French bulldog familiar, and an existential threat to human society bend Nick's path toward Eliza's. Can they survive long enough to figure out their place in a world full of things that go bump in the night?
