Ioan Mic, the half-blood grandson of the vampyree king, is eagerly awaiting his eighteenth birthday, when he’ll finally be able to be with Daniel Small, the American vampyree he’s loved for the past four years. Although vampyrees are notoriously promiscuous, Ioan’s refused sex with all who offered -- he’s willing to wait. But when Daniel arrives at the party, he’s accompanied by a wife, leaving Ioan devastated. Shandor, a wolf shifter -- he refuses to call himself a werewolf -- loves the young duke, but years before, he was given the task of keeping Ioan safe, so he tucks his feelings away. Ioan’s twin decides the two need a push and encourages them to enroll in an online dating service. Unbeknownst to either man, he sees to it their responses make them perfect for each other. Because anyone can see they are. The problem is will Ioan and Shandor ever see that?

Wishing and Hoping

Shandor couldn’t help a breathless moan.


Thankfully, Ioan didn’t challenge him, even though it was obvious from the look he sent Shandor’s way that he didn’t believe him. “What’s going on?”


Shandor was Ioan’s guardian. He’d better damn well do some guarding.


“It was Valeriu who spread rumors about you.”


Ioan didn’t seem surprised his cousin would target him like that. Valeriu had lived at the castle for the past thirty years or so, and had made it clear every one of the days and weeks and months of those years that he would rather be anywhere else. And for some reason, he blamed it on Ioan although not his twin.


Shandor went on to tell him what the Regeplanned, much to Ioan’s pleasure.


“Was that what you had to tell me?”
