Focus on magic (not the hot chef) and everything will be fine.

Elijah Gray didn't want to end up back in Moonlight Falls, but when he's sent to the spooky small town as part of his magical research, he has no choice but to return home.

Parker Hayes is Eli's brother's best friend. He's older, a powerful magical practitioner, and a pillar of the Moonlight Falls community. Eli has known Parker for years and isn't sure why it feels like he's never seen Parker properly…

Until now.

Eli has always considered himself straight, but he's flustered around Parker. He's noticing Parker in ways straight guys don't usually think about other men.

He wants Parker but will never act on it. Something casual with his brother's best friend would be a mistake, and anything more would mean accepting life in a town he can't wait to escape.

All Eli has to do is ignore his new, confusing desires until he leaves Moonlight Falls. But every casual touch from Parker feels like a revelation, and Eli can't help wondering if letting himself fall would be so bad.

Mystery, temptation, and risking it all.

James Gray lives a life free of complications. Even in Moonlight Falls, a town known for supernatural activity, he stays away from the more sinister magical arts, preferring the simple work of a magical electrician.

Sebastian Storm is a man James hasn't thought about in years until he hears Sebastian inherited the haunted house north of town. Most locals avoid the place. The eccentric Sebastian moves in and requests James's help with electrical problems.

Storm House's shade infestation is the first hitch in the job. The second? Sebastian. He's doing his best to get James into bed. James doesn't want any part of Sebastian's games, no matter how attractive he is, but James begins to wonder if there's more going on at the haunted property than Sebastian will admit.

Uncovering secrets will only bring trouble, but James can't help himself. There's something about Sebastian he can't shake. What's the worst that could happen if he lets himself be seduced by the mystery as well as the man?

Some magic changes you forever.

Sebastian Storm didn't dare dream of a future beyond Storm House. He never hoped James Gray might want to keep him. But it seems that's exactly what James plans to do.

Too bad they won't last. No one ever picks Sebastian, and he can't see why James would be any different, especially when Sebastian is keeping a secret he dreads having to reveal.

But he can't keep it to himself when the curse that's haunted him his whole life isn't done with him.

Sebastian should have known escaping wouldn't be easy, but he never expected the curse to grow or to face worse things outside Storm House's walls. Shades are wreaking havoc on Moonlight Falls as something even more sinister builds beneath the surface.

With so much at stake, Sebastian has to risk everything. He needs to know if James can be the one good thing in his life that lasts. To find out if they can stand together when things get worse, not better. And just maybe, they'll be able to build a future out of the rubble.

In the end, the heart is all that matters.

James is ready to settle into the future he's always dreamed of, but he can't. Nothing comes easily for him and Sebastian while the Storm House curse haunts them and trouble continues to brew in Moonlight Falls.

Battling shades is a given. What James doesn't expect is the town turning on the man he loves.

Secrets get out and Sebastian must fight for his place in the community as he reckons with his connection to the magic of Moonlight Falls and what it means for defeating his family's curse and restoring the veins of power once and for all. While the answers he finds challenge his resolve, Sebastian knows nothing from this world or Beyond can break his and James's bond.

There will always be light in the dark, and together, James and Sebastian can make it shine. But will that be enough to get them through their final challenge?
