I Dated a Golden Vampire

Cabree has been writing code for Z-Tech and then Z-Corp since they were up and running. It's her programming that makes the weapons, vehicles, and medical marvels work. She runs the security algorithms and has come to a conclusion. After participating in a glorious wedding, she looked around and didn't see anyone who saw her. She wanted to be seen, and she wanted to be warm. Cruise, it would be.

Cabree spends a few days in the sun before getting an invitation to a casino. It was the standard sort of thing offered to high rollers. They weren't wrong. She was transported to the island casino and introduced to the shady Lord Denog, who owns the place, and his little lap minions. After grabbing her escort and sitting on his lap, his lordship dismisses his ornaments, so she's obligated to dismiss hers. After that, they get serious, and she mentions that she's looking for a patron to take her final test for the BDC with, and she has his full attention.

Pria was on the cheap version of the cruise when she gets a call from Zera, and she takes the assignment to go in and act as a thug and rescue the escort in distress. From there, things get complicated.
