Shots and Barbs
Nuni
Look, I’m an extremely busy, handsome, 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 organise a ten-year 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 and no-nonsense attitude and sensible shoes, I decide 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 and 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 and 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 a MF monster/human romcom and is the second in the series Deep Earth Dating, which features a range of diverse pairings and is for an adult audience only.

Cozy Pairings
Vanilla & Cashmere is a soft and luxurious fragrance that blends creamy vanilla with warm sandalwood, gentle musk, and smooth cashmere notes. Subtle and refined, this scent feels clean, comforting, and quietly indulgent. The warmth of vanilla is balanced by light woods and soft musk, creating a smooth, layered aroma that lingers beautifully without overpowering. It brings a sense of calm and ease to any space, like wrapping yourself in something soft at the end of the day.
Why we chose this: Greid only wanted a roommate. Nuni only needed an event planner. Neither of them was planning to fall in love, and both of them are going to anyway. These are warm, funny, genuinely sweet stories about people who are worse at keeping their feelings to themselves than they think they are. Vanilla + Cashmere carries the soft, enveloping quality of a series this good-natured and warmhearted, quietly indulgent and impossible to resist. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth of vanilla and cashmere fill the room like an apartment where two people are pretending to be just roommates and convincing absolutely no one.
