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

Drew frowned, obviously puzzled. “Da’ uses that term. I’m afraid I don’t understand.”


“I have to be careful how I address Mags around normals,” I told him.


“You’ll see when you meet it,” Pop said.


“It?” I raised my hands. “Never mind, I can wait. I think I’ll have a bit of a lie-down if you don’t mind?”


“Go ahead. You know where our cabin is. I’ll join you shortly.” I waited until he was out of the wheelhouse before I turned to my fathers. “What did you have to tell me?”


Dad slid an arm around Pop. In about six or so months, you’re going to have another sibling


“Er…” Pop’s cheeks were bright red. “Not exactly.”


I felt my eyes widen. “But how?” I shook my head. “That isn’t what I mean. All these years, there’s only been me.”


You see, Da’ric, after we recovered enough to come out of the regeneration chamber, we couldn’t contact you. Neither could Maggie. We were all devastated, certain we’d lost you. Papa and I—
