Damien Nazario
She and Damien used to work together at the NYPD, then Interpol until Damien quit. They also dated for a while until they broke up. It is shown that she still has feelings for him given that she made a deal with Eros to hand over the protagonists excluding him. In a premium scene, she tells Your Character that to her, Interpol is not "just a job", it is a way of life. When Damien left and asked her to come with him, she couldn't give up her life for him and become his ideal, domesticated picket-fence pie-baking normal-life partner. She doesn't blame Damien for leaving, as it wasn't the life for him, but it is the life for her.

Your Character
In Book 2, she becomes a potential love interest. Depending on your actions (if you choose to tell her you want her vs asking to just hold her), her responses change. With the first, she is more confident, as physical relationships seem to be her norm. With the second, she seems hesitant, calling you "sweet", if you try for an emotional connection; it makes her more vulnerable. You have the option of choosing a purely physical relationship in Book 2, Chapter 14, and in Chapter 15; if you choose "friends with benefits" in Chapter 14, you do not have the option of changing it in Chapter 15. If you choose a real/emotional relationship in Chapter 14, you have the option of changing it to "friends with benefits" or keeping it in Chapter 15.
