Magic is in the blood, mon fils. Blood is life, my darling. Trust the blood.
One night changes Devon Durante’s life forever when his uncle is murdered, and he winds up charged with the crime. Two years in jail and three lawyers later, Devon steps out into the world as Derrick Grant. New name, new life, and a strong distrust of law enforcement.
Derrick must stay under the radar and hide a few freaky tendencies he can’t explain: the blood in his coffee every morning, his fangs, and his knack for hearing thoughts. But his biggest talent is matchmaking.
By day, Derrick runs his uncle’s art gallery, and by night, he uses his talent to hook people up.
Damon Webb is an ex-cop turned private investigator, now working on cases that have nothing to do with murder. One night ten years before almost cost a skinny goth kid his life, and he couldn’t go through that again.
When Damon is hired to find a blackmailer, his first suspect is the skinny goth kid from ten years before, who’s changed his name, runs a questionable matchmaking service, and now looks good enough to bite. Can he convince Derrick they are meant to be, or will Derrick refuse him, and damn them both?
The magic chooses the mate, and the magic decides your fate.
