When he returns to the woodcarver’s shop, the true nature of his attraction and spiritual connection to James is revealed, and it’s more than Morgan could ever have imagined. Can this be the reason Morgan has never been able to make a commitment to anyone? What strange forces are at work to bring Morgan and James together?

Hidden Spirit

James drew him close as if to kiss him, but before Morgan could surrender himself to his sexual desire and need, he pulled back. Great Eagle’s final words echoed in his mind, it would not be wise for you to come together for reasons other than to fulfill the prophecy. Morgan didn’t understand what the old shaman’s words meant, but until he did he felt he should heed them. He was not ready to make a commitment to the prophecy and therefore shouldn’t give in to his base attraction to this man.


Realizing they had never once spoken to one another, Morgan regretted his first words to James were, “I’m sorry. I can’t. Not yet anyway. I have something I need to do.”
