Gage, the leader of the Vista Maria vampire family, crosses paths with Willow, a human with a haunting past. She moved to the coastal city of Vista Maria, Florida to start her dream of becoming a female business owner. Both Gage and Willow are on the fence about love as they try to heal from past relationships in different ways. Gage became a cold-hearted man who secretly fears what he's become while Willow works to establish a sense of family in her new community. Willow befriends Gage's three friends, Matteo, Horatio, and Nikolas who become an extended family to her. Gage's father, Clay, takes her under his wing to help her successfully run her midnight coffee house that caters to the midnight shift workers. But, she soon learns that she has also been catering to vampires and that her new family is part of them.
As Clay encourages his son to try his hand at love again, old wounds are reopened. Waldo is the head of a rival vampire family and has an obsession with tormenting Gage. He has made a new appearance in town once he learns of Gage's new interest in Willow. Now Gage can no longer ignore his feelings for her once she is put in danger.
But Willow is not the type of girl to become a damsel in distress...
