 Paris is a software engineer. Basically whatever programs Prior writes codes, Paris checks for bugs, and has Prior fix them. His Brother Cross is marrying Hazel from the book Forever Only Once . Paris is a member of the pact group, it is her turn to go on blind dates. 

Her parents were abusive, and had a hand in killing her younger sister Tracey. Paris has nightmares, she is attacked after work one night, she has a concussion, bruised ribs, and some cuts and scrapes.
She has gone on 6 blind dates, and then on her first day back to work after the accident she asks Prior out for coffee, after talking they decide on a raincheck. She goes home and has a very hot sex dream about him. He invited her on a date, they see his recent ex who cheated, they go back to her place and her dream becomes real life. She tells him her scary, harmful, sad past, and they sleep holding each other, and she doesn't have a waking up screaming nightmare.
Bad people show up and hurt them, Prior is in the hospital, they say 3 words to each other. There is a bonus epilogue at the end of the book.
