Pure Poison (Wine of the Gods Series Book 32)

A short story in the Empire of the One.

Scar—so nick-named because of his flawless baby-face—is just a simple Presidential Guard. He spends his time trying to get a date, walking hallways looking alert . . . and now he's investigating the poisoning of a politician, and the main suspect is the women he's been trying to get up the nerve to ask out!
