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

As soon as Theirn picked Caiden up at the art gallery Monday evening, they drove to Antique Row. It was only three miles from the house, and turned to be several blocks of antique shops, some housing groups of dealers, others only one. D&C Antiques had its own building.


“Are you certain Mr. Styles will be here?” Theirn asked after they parked and were walking toward the rather plain white building with its black tile roof.


“Yes. I called and made an appointment. He’s expecting us.”


The interior of the shop looked as Theirn had expected. All kinds of vintage furniture filled the floor area—some of it set in home-like formations, other pieces scattered around. Above were various lights, from ornate chandeliers, to what appeared to be fixtures from as recently as the nineteen-fifties. More lights stood on end tables, coffee tables, and just about any other available surface. There were paintings and framed antique photos on the walls.
