    Summary

    “I’m sorry this happened to you,” Adrian said to Eric, who was still staring at him. Adrian was used to that; even before the fire, with his numerous scars and gruff demeanor, many people would stare longer at him than most strangers. But now that he had the burn scars, uglier than any of his others, now that he limped and used a cane, those stares lasted far longer than usual. Just another reason why he rarely left campus.

    But there was something different about the way Eric looked at him, something unnerving in his gaze, in those almost unnaturally amber eyes… Adrian couldn’t quite place it, but he almost felt as though they’d met before.

    He wasn’t sure what he was expecting from the boy, perhaps for him to be fearful, or even angry, at being uprooted from whatever his life had been before. But he certainly wasn’t expecting Eric to shrug his shoulders, and for his mouth to pull up into a smile.

    “I’m not,” Eric said. “It’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”

    ~~~

    After a lifetime of vampire hunting, a mission-gone-bad sends Adrian into retirement. He starts teaching at a school for supernatural beings… and one day, a new student walks in.

    One that feels very familiar.

    Summary

    Charlie McCormick has spent the last two years getting pawned off on one reluctant relative after another. Shy, pretty and no stranger to being called a sissy, he doesn’t have high hopes when the next in line is his Uncle Jim—an old-fashioned man’s man who works construction and plays the field. But when an impulsive act on Charlie’s part makes Jim realize he’s got a hot little number living right under his own roof, the two are drawn together down the crooked path to domestic bliss.

    Summary

    Harris’s gaze came to rest on the son. His breath caught in his throat. The boy was stunning. Tall for his age but slender, with delicate features and dark, curling hair. He blinked his doe eyes up at Harris, and his cheeks tinged with a pink blush.

    Perhaps what this family had to offer was not financial after all.
