Werewolf Darby Sharp on pack land with his family and fellow werewolves and owns a successful bookshop that caters to both supernatural and non-supernatural readers. He’s quite content with his lot in life. But on a trip to the farmers’ market, he detects enticing scents in the air that lead him toward his soul mates. Dillon Lynx is a powerful witch and Riordan Bloodworth, an ancient vampire. The two have been dating for nearly two years and have tried to mate with each other, but the bond fails. They realize they have another soul mate out there, and the bond can’t form if the three of them don’t get together. But the farmers’ market is the last place they’d expect to meet their soul mate. Unfortunately, a serial killer is targeting the supernatural community. Dillon worries about his safety when an elderly gentleman, who carries the stench of something rotten in his blood, appears to be fixated on him. Naturally, Riordan and Darby are less than pleased about the new stalker in Dillon’s life. Can the three men keep one another safe while they work on their blossoming relationship?

A Chance Encounter

“You’ve never seen a vampire who enjoys normal human food as much as I do, have you?”


Darby shook his head. “I honestly thought you would order the rare steak so you might be able to taste the blood a little. Something like that.”


Riordan chuckled. “I actually love beef burgers and fries.”


Dillon snorted. “You love to eat. Period.”


Riordan snickered at Dillon. “You know me so well.”


Dillon shrugged. “We’re boyfriends. We’ve been together for quite a while now.”


Darby darted his eyes back and forth between Riordan and Dillon. “Why aren’t you mated yet? I mean, you’re both my soul mates. There’s no way the two of you aren’t each other’s soul mates.”


“We had tried to bond six months into the relationship,” Riordan replied.


“At first, the bond had thrummed,” Dillon answered. “We thought we would be mated for sure. Then it had fizzled and become sluggish before it sort of hibernated.”


“Oh! I’ve forgotten about that possibility.”
