Description
After learning his mother is alive, Cameron, a telepath, travels across the country to find her, accompanied by Nathen, his neurodiverse vampire lover, and Syn, his best friend and sister of the heart. Once there, they find she is involved in a much larger war of her own and has been trying to keep him out of harm’s way for years.
In their quest to help her, they make enemies, of course, but they also find several new allies. And when they are swept up in fae politics and looming war, the result is an entire paradigm shift that will have far-reaching effects on all their lives forever.

“Mr. Molina, Ms. Rodriguez, Mr. Hale, so good of you all to join me tonight.” He gestured to the empty seats. Cameron immediately sat to HR’s right, indicating for Syn to sit across from the man, in the farthest seat from him and incidentally closest to the door. After the group were seated and received menus, a waitress was immediately upon them with obviously preordered drinks: water for Nathen and beer for both Syn and Cameron. When the woman had left them in silence, HR apologized. “I’m sorry, Mr. Hale, but this establishment does not cater to your particular needs. Now, I’m certain the three of you have questions, and I am more than happy to answer them.”
Cameron and Syn exchanged glances.
Nathen took it all in stride, saying, “It’s okay. I already ate.”
“What do you mean you have information about my mother?” Cameron asked, jumping right to the point as the sound of his heart pounded in his ears.
The man gave a curt nod, bending over and pulling a file out of a leather briefcase set on a low stool next to him. “Surveillance photos from a location in Texas where your mother currently resides with three other women.”
Cameron snatched the file, thumbing through it quickly with Syn having scooted her chair over to look at them as well. There was no denying the photos were of Maria Molina, Cameron’s mother, each of them time stamped for the month prior. Cameron struggled with his emotions, his mind spinning with desperation, disbelief, fear, and sheer agony as he fought to hold back tears.
Syn pointed out: “These are security photos.”
“Indeed,” HR responded simply.
Nathen stood and took hold of his chair with the intention of dragging it around the table to Cameron when HR put a steadying hand on Nathen’s arm. He stood and offered his chair to Nathen with a subtle gesture, stepping aside to give him access by changing chairs with him.
Cameron reveled in the silent emotions of love and support he was blanketed in from Nathen, and he numbly slid the file to him.
Syn demanded, “So, tell us about these photos. Where are they? How did you get hold of them?”
HR nodded assent. “We started investigating Mr. Molina once we learned our asset had interest in him. That uncovered more unanswered questions than we were comfortable with. This has nothing to do with your skill, Ms. Rodriguez. You covered your tracks quite well. So well, in fact, let’s just say only extraordinary skills could have found any information at all. And, indeed, we did. There is much more to be learned. However, I am only willing to divulge said information, including the answer to your first question regarding location, upon agreement to join us.”
Rage seethed in Cameron, though he sat quietly.
Through the link Cameron had open, Nathen mentally imparted, “Are you okay? Did you want to leave and talk outside? I’m sorry for getting you into this.”
Shaking his head at Nathen’s suggestion, “We can talk with each other right here, and he can’t hear us. As far as I know.” He glanced at Syn.
“Let me get this straight.” Syn sat back, her shoulders squared and fire burning in her eyes. “You’re saying Cameron’s mother is alive. That she is living, and from what it seems, quite comfortably with a few other women, and you’re not willing to give us any more information unless Cameron sells his soul to you?”
HR’s features were serene. “That is a bit dramatic, Ms. Rodriguez. What I am offering is a job as Junior Director of Threat Management for our San Francisco location. The position would be a two-year contract with an option to extend. It comes with a handsome salary three times what you are making at the nonprofit clinic, benefits, resources, and the information you seek. You have a very unique set of skills, sir, that can help us in many ways.”
“I do not agree with your ways,” Cameron growled.
