Blurb:
A starving incubus.
A bear alone.
Jasper Jones is Lyric’s most pitiful incubus. He can’t feed and doesn’t want to if it means hurting people. When a witch gives him a chance at breaking the cycle of hunger, he rushes half cocked into the woods in search of a cure.
Caleb moved into Poisonwood Forest to escape the crowded city of Lyric, but it’s lonely by himself. He doesn’t expect to find his mate when he trips over an unconscious young man in the middle of the woods, but there he is, perfect—except for a peculiar fondness for processed cookies.
Their only problem is that Jasper’s sick, and when he doesn’t get better, his one shot at survival is in the hands of a bear shifter who’ll do anything to save him.

Caleb set him down gently and adjusted the blanket around his body. Groggy as he was, Jasper managed to catch his hand before he could pull away. “Stay?” he whispered. Unless Caleb was hiding an entire other half of his cabin, there was only one bed. Jasper didn’t want to force him out of it.
With a scowl, Caleb considered him. “I can sleep on the couch.”
If he hadn’t been so dizzy, he’d have rolled his eyes. “Your bed is, like, orgy sized.”
Caleb choked, turning red under his beard. “What would you know about that?”
Okay, so Jasper couldn’t help rolling his eyes, even if he regretted it a second later. “Got a weird family. What I’m saying is that we could fit three more people in here and none of us would even have to touch. I just”—Jasper swallowed—”I don’t want to kick you out of your own bed? I’ve already crashed your entire day. I don’t have to fuck up your night too.” When Caleb’s scowl deepened, Jasper shrank into his shoulders. “Please?”
Caleb nodded tersely. “But I need to put wood on the fire. And change.”
Jasper beamed. ” ‘Kay.”
He watched while Caleb turned around, toward a chest of drawers. He pulled off his shirt, exposing a broad, firm back. If he hadn’t seemed so standoffish, Jasper would’ve told him to turn around and give a little show. He was not at all used to people who didn’t want him—a welcome revelation and, in this particular context, a disappointment. He didn’t want Caleb to have to have him; he wanted Caleb to want to have him. Or show more than vague discomfort when Jasper said something racy.
