Vampires and werewolves are natural enemies. Therefore, Andre has no regrets about killing Raúl, the Alpha of the Wintermane pack, who plans to attack the Crimson Cathedral nightclub, revealing the presence of vampires to the human world. When Sand learns of his brother's murder, he debates seeking revenge because he hates Raúl, who backed their father when he forced Sand out of the pack for being gay. Then, he discovers that Estebe, the new Alpha, plans to continue Raúl's mission. Things come to a head when Sand, a bodyguard, escorts a client's daughter to the nightclub and the club's owner tells Andre to find out why Sand is there. Despite their differences, instant lust drives Andre into Sand's bed-but not before they agree to work together to stop Estebe. Can they successfully end Estebe's existence -- and survive? And, will their relationship stand a chance as lust turns to an attraction that defies the belief that they are supposed to be mortal enemies?

Unnatural Allies

When he was calmer, he eased the bathroom door open and stood for a few moments, looking at the man who had been his lover. “I’ll miss you,” he said softly. “More than I should, I will.” Then he teleported home.


“Where’s Sand?” Thorin asked soon after Andre arrived at the club and found him at his private table.


Andre leaned back against the balcony railing, replying with a shrug, “Probably at home, or back to working his regular shift for the security company, now that you don’t need him here.”


“No. He was gone when I woke up. No note, no nothing. If it weren’t for the blood-stained bandages in the wastebasket, I wouldn’t have known he been there.” Andre turned to gaze down at the busy room below him, needing to put off any more questions about Sand. “Looks like things are back to normal, again. What do you need me to do?”


“For the moment, nothing more than the usual.” Thorin eyed him in speculation. “You don’t seem terribly upset.”
