The Slayer and The Spy
Slayer Kain DeAngelous knows that his reputation as a player is well earned, but that has never stopped him from taking on a mission for the Alpha Body. As long as his heart isn’t involved, he’s one of the best Slayers in North America. Until his latest assignment leaves him guarding the one man, he hoped to blot out of his memory. Sebastian “Bastian” Valdian has the world on his shoulders. As the family rock, he is the one who the others know can get the job done. Including spying on the employees of his own company for Rogue Vampires. A job that has led to some extreme measures of stress management. His whisper of control is tested when the head of the Council requests the help of the last werewolf Bastian ever wanted to see. Kain and Bastian both agree this is the last thing either man wants. To be trapped together until a murderer is captured. Every day is a new test of their resolve to keep their interactions platonic. Past fire burns to a near inferno leaving them both raw and scrambling. Can Kain overcome his fears before a murderer takes the very person meant for him? Or will he let the love of his life slip through his fingers for the second time?
