Life can throw curve balls, and Kenny knew all about them when he met Cyril’s handyman, Russell Hughes. The guy was what wet dreams were made of, until Kenny finds out Russell is a shifter. He doesn’t do furry. Not now. Not ever. Too bad Kenny is unable to stand by his convictions. With the dark Italian stud saying all the right words, Kenny is putty in the man’s calloused hands. Russell is determined to make Kenny his. The little human plays hard to get, but Russell isn’t giving up on his only chance at happiness, even if Kenny has a killer after him and a “special” brother to look out for. But their mating isn’t easy, especially when Brad is after Kenny with a vengeance for ratting him out to the cops. It’s up to Russell to keep Kenny safe and to show the human that loving a shifter can be worth his while.
