To most people who know him, Nick Fontana is the owner of a prestigious advertising agency. To a select few, he’s known as Niko, a man who deals with very sensitive problems no one else can handle. As a result, Nick has never found a man to love -- because he won't allow it to happen. Then he meets flirtatious Greg Tyson while out running. He thinks nothing of it until Greg applies for a job at Nick's ad agency. Greg is exactly what Nick is looking for in an employee. Hiring him, however, might turn out to be the biggest mistake of Nick's life ... or the beginning of something new, if Nick is willing to open himself up and let Greg in. Doing so will require an amount of trust Nick isn’t certain he can give without endangering Greg's life -- and losing his love -- in the process.

Love Was Not an Option

“Nope,” Nick said. “One of many myths which are just that—myths. Sure, if you got stabbed with a silver knife it might stop you from attacking, momentarily. But so would a regular knife. The same with bullets, silver or otherwise. You take one in the heart or head, it’ll probably kill you. The only thing dangerous to us about silver is that it slows our healing rate.”


“So that myth is true? Werewolves do heal faster than humans?”


“Yes,” ?tienne replied. “Ergo, if you get badly hurt try not to end up in a hospital. You don’t want the doctors wondering why the arm you broke yesterday is fine today.”


“Or if you do end up in one, teleport out the first chance you get, preferably without them taking any blood. Your blood would clue them in real fast you’re different from true humans.”


“Which I’m not, anymore,” Greg said. “This is getting complicated.”
