Caiden McNeil is a special being, a metamorph who can become any human necessary to stop the criminals his elven boss Zander sends him after.<br><br>Caiden is also a loner, unable to trust anyone on an emotional level. He has reason to feel this way: in his over eight-hundred years, he has learned that caring for someone only leads to despair. After all, how could a human accept him for what he really is, an immortal who will never seem to grow older than his apparent age of twenty-eight?<br><br>Then two men come into Caiden's life -- Leander, a cougar shifter, and Theirn, a half-elf. Either may betray Caiden and his belief that their feelings for him are real. On the other hand, is one of them willing to fight to prove love is possible, if Caiden will only give it a chance?

Perhaps, Someday

Caiden lifted the cover on the skillet and decided that, while definitely on the over-cooked side, the meal still looked good. “If you’ll get the plates,” he told Leander, nodding to the right cupboard, “I’ll put the salad together. Then we can eat—and think.”


“About whether I’m out and out lying to you,” Leander replied while getting plates and setting them on the counter.


“I think you trust Rian. That does not mean he hasn’t messed with your mind to make that happen.” He put the spinach and mushrooms in a bowl, added the dressing, then went to set it on the table.


“I’m a shifter,” Leander stated. “It’s not really possible for him to do that.”


“Oh, not in a ‘getting into you head’ type thing, I agree. But by explaining convincingly why he wants you to pick something up, or, perhaps deliver something.” Caiden looked questioningly at Leander, getting no response. “A good conman can make someone believe grass is blue and the sky is green. You know that.”
