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

“Whoa,” Darby muttered softly while looking at Riordan and Dillon. Then he focused his gaze on Dillon. “Is there a spell or a ritual you can perform to take you back in time for a brief moment so you can peek at the murderer’s face?”


Dillon was quiet for a moment. “There are a few rituals and spells related to time-traveling. I don’t even need them.”


“How much do you know about time magic?” Riordan interjected, and Darby instantly turned toward Riordan.


Riordan nodded. “Dillon can go back in time if he so chooses, but the magic may not allow him to do what he wants to.”


Dillon bit his lower lip, and he looked sad. “Things happen for a reason. I’m sure you’ve heard of that saying before.”


“Yeah,” Darby responded. “How does that have anything to do with—”


“Magic may stop me from traveling back in time,” Dillon cut Darby off midsentence. “Or it may permit me to do that, but I still won’t be able to see who the murderer is.”
