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?

“No. I was teasing,” Theirn replied with a touch of asperity. “Yes, damn it, I’m sure. All I could think of, while you were gone, was how much I wanted you home again so we could finally—” he sucked in a breath, “—make love instead of dancing around the idea.”


Caiden smiled ruefully. “We havebeen doing that. As if we were afraid to take the final step to committing ourselves to this relationship. No, not ‘we’. Me.” He took Theirn’s hands, kissing the palm of each one. “It’s time Istopbeing afraid.”


“It is. This, us, together, was meant to be.” Theirn laughed softly. “That was pretty hokey, but it’s true, I think.”


“I know it is,” Caiden replied. “So…” He glanced at the bed that took up one corner of the small apartment. Still holding Theirn’s hands, Caiden backed up until his knees hit the foot of the bed.


“It might be easier,” Theirn pointed out, when Caiden just stood there, looking at him, “if we got undressed.”
