Last Call

by Cassie Meadows · Steamy Romantic Comedy

Celestine Vidal has been running Le Zinc, the best bar in the French Quarter, for fifteen years. She knows every regular by name and drink. She knows the tin ceiling's acoustics better than any sound engineer. She knows exactly how to manage a room full of people, and she does it with a bar spoon her mother gave her on her first solo shift. What she doesn't know how to manage: Kieran Ngo, the documentary filmmaker who shows up with a camera and a six-week commission that's secretly a demolition order. He's supposed to document the bar. She's supposed to cooperate. Neither of them is supposed to end up on the banquette after closing.
