Hauntings&Company is an underdog retail business struggling to expand. Markus Hauntings, the owner, has to face the fact: as a Magic-wielding Psionic Illth, aka a Destroyer, (Purple, tentacles, scary, imposing) he might be driving potential clients away with his villainous looks. That's why his second in command hires Ophelia Dawn, a beautiful, bubbly half-elf. Markus knows the second he sees her that he's in trouble, he's smitten at first glance. He's hesitant to hire her until he realizes, she too is on her last leg. As a warlock of Cthulhu, it's hard to find work in King's Fall. And a girl's gotta eat.
A whirlwind of learning to trust, learning the game of retail, and learning how to market a company full of 'bad guys'. Yet Ophelia never flinches away from the challenge and rises to the challenge of being the best assistant a Destroyer could ask for... if only he could keep his budding romantic feelings from escaping. This would be so much easier if she didn't wear her heart on her sleeve and fill the air with her desire like an intoxicating scent. Can the company survive this delicious affair?
Apart of the King's Fall Universe, a completely stand alone Boss x Assistant romance.
