As if Jace's life isn't already full of challenges, he humiliates himself in front of a gorgeous stud when attacked by a rogue mop handle. His embarrassment doesn't stop there. His mind has a knack for going completely blank at the most inconvenient times, with his anxiety happily tagging along for the ride. When things take a turn for the absolute worse, Ian fights to protect him. But who is going to protect Jace's heart when Ian brings him to his knees?

So far, nothing has escaped Ian's fierce stubbornness and relentless determination. Abandoned as a kitten, he survived. When facing enemies who thought they couldn't be taken down, Ian proved them wrong. He even rose to the top in his preternatural snowboarding career before he retired. But his ever-present longing for family has never waned. Now, after nearly two and a half centuries, it's within his grasp. All he has to do is not royally screw this up.
