  Good things never happen in a continuous stream for Jalen Etters. He has a job he loves, a roof over
  his head, and all the food he could eat. He even flirts with a sexy little barista named Markie. When
  he finds himself hiding out from human soldiers on his construction job site, he thinks his good streak
  is over. Thankfully, Rico, a hawk shifter, is sent to save him, so the good streak is still intact. Then he
  finds out Rico is his mate but he’s in love with Markie. Maybe his good streak is over after all.
