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

Errol stood on the doorstep and watched as they drove off. A second Rolls pulled up to the door and parked. He and Cilla would ride to the church in it. He sent a small salute to the driver, who responded in kind, then turned and entered the house. Cilla should be ready soon.


Drew was on the winding road that led to the village, where the centuries-old church stood in the centre of town.


Shani reached forward and touched her son’s shoulder. “We’re so sorry Da’ric’s fathers can’t make the trip to Kent.”


He seemed to choke, then cleared his throat. “His dad doesn’t do much traveling, and his pop is reluctant to travel without him.”


“That’s a pity. However, your father and I would love to meet them. I imagine a visit to Brazil will be in our future.”


“Erm…there’s something you should know about Da”s dad.”


“Oh?” She would have sworn the smile he sent her through the rearview mirror was less than enthusiastic.


“I’ll leave it to Da’ to explain.”
