  Sebastian Seb Russo is forced to take a commercial flight to his next assignment since the
  Vampire Council doesn’t have any planes available. His leaders have charged him with assisting the
  alpha of the wolf shifters in Stone Ridge, Colorado with communications between paranormals and
  the human government. Except, the one thing that would delay him happens…he discovers his
  beloved, his soul mate, on that plane. Now, Seb finds himself in Las Vegas, trailing the human Dirk
  Lemans. His attempts to woo the human are successful, until he makes one too many verbal slips, and
  he discovers a powerful truth. Dirk thinks Seb is a shifter…and not too long ago, shifters held him
  captive. Can Seb convince Dirk that not all paranormals are the same?
