Their leap of faith could unleash magic ... or plunge them into darkness. Henry Thorn has worked at Larkin's since graduating high school. He likes it -- especially when he can use his secret skill of hiding inside shadows so his boss can't find them. Without that talent, he would never had survived growing up different. When a hire enters the store, Henry's other latent talent kicks in. He can smell an emotional response even before he lays eyes on the redhead. Jamey Currey came out, and his conservative parents promptly kicked him out. He, too, is different -- he senses Henry's attraction the moment they met. The first time they kiss, torrential rains fall from skies split by lightning. Their kiss also awakens the Watchers, diabolical hunters who will stop at nothing -- even extermination -- to keep magic suppressed. With the help of a friendly coven of friendly witches, the boys embark on a quest to discover an ancient key to restoring magic to the world, and to understand mysteries of their own hearts. The question is, will this quest cost them their lives?

The Werewolf and His Boy

Ella leaned back in her chair and waited for the Senior Watcher of the Southeastern U.S. to release her for the hunt in both human and Watcher form, which was what must happen next, but only at his command. Asking her whether she knew the protocols was a ritual question. Ella had never been taught the protocol because they were part of her DNA. She looked into the Senior Watcher’s now-red eyes, watched as his fangs and talons lengthened, as he flicked his forked tongue.


“What?” Jamey snapped as he turned to close the door to their bedroom behind him, wishing he could sleep somewhere else, alone, but the other doors he had tried on their floor were locked. All those witches just assumed they were lovers—well, they were, just not a couple yet. Not yet. Sort of. Fuck, everything was just happening too fast.
