Andrew Dorincourt has the blood of powerful shifters in his veins. It’s his job to take care of his siblings, who are his pack, and he has no intention of letting anything get in the way. However, he’s seen the love shared not only by his parents but by the Papas, the men who raised his mother, and he wants that for himself. The problem is none of the young women he’s dated have left him wanting anything more than to go home alone. Perhaps he’d have more success by dating men, as his brother does. Only it seems he’s not very successful at that, either. Da’ric is the son of Ric’u, a Brachi who’d been stranded on Terra for decades, and David Knight, an ichthyologist who traveled up the Amazon in search of his heart’s desire. Seeing the deep love his fathers have for each other, Da’ric determines to settle for nothing less. At any rate, the dating pool is pretty much empty in the Lagoon of Dreams, and so he goes to the States, where he intends to become a herpetologist. In order to do that, he must mingle with normals, Terrans who have no idea extraterrestrials share the planet with them. When he walks among Terrans, he must disguise his heritage by wearing sunglasses to conceal his rainbow-colored eyes and long-sleeved shirts to hide his scale-patterned skin. After being kidnapped and sold to a high-ranking member of the London underworld to be displayed as the Snake Boy, Da’ despairs of ever seeing his beloved family again, until Drew wanders into the House of Oddities and helps Da’ escape. Is it fate, kismet, or destiny that brings together the offspring of two very unique families? Have these two been waiting for each other, and will the future hold the love they’d both been seeking?

Rainbows in Your Eyes

She threw a sulky look toward the redhead, then continued. “They have a whole floor with displays from the cinema, too. Please say we can go, Drew.”


“It is not a good idea,” St John insisted mulishly.


The line of my mouth tightened, and Robin gave a sputter of laughter. “Not a smart thing to say, Singe.” Where my family was concerned, no one outside our close-knit group told me what I could or couldn’t do.


“Would you stop calling me that?” St John snapped at Robin, and my brother grinned at him


“And what would you prefer I call you? Sweetheart?”


“You…you…” St John couldn’t seem to find a response to that. He ground his teeth, and I expected him to throw down his napkin in a fit of pique, but instead he set it down gently.


“What time will you be ready to go, Arianne?” I asked, daring the younger man to challenge me. He had never seen me as anything other than easy-going, and was clearly taken aback.


Arianne bounced in her chair, clapping her hands. “After lunch?”
