West is on the run from his werewolf pack, but if he cannot renew his magical defenses, he won't get far. What he needs is a mage…. Julian is part of a wealthy and ancient family, and one day, his legacy will include his mother's vast library of spell books—and the knowledge he needs to correct his past mistakes. But his inheritance comes with a stipulation: he has to be married before he can collect. What he needs is a husband…. West and Julian can help each other, and at first they don't want anything more. But as they dodge meddling cousins, jealous rivals, and an insidious drug, it becomes clear their lives are entwined in ways they never imagined—and they're in greater danger than they thought possible. Featuring: werewolves, magic, a marriage of convenience, an enchanted library, at least one explosion, and enough snark to sink a ship. This is a second edition, with no changes from the first edition published with Dreamspinner Press in 2018.
Parker Foye (they/them) writes queer speculative romance and believes in happily ever after, although sometimes their characters make achieving this difficult. An education in Classics nurtured a love of heroes, swords, monsters, and beautiful people doing foolish things while wearing only scraps of leather. You’ll find those things in various guises in Parker’s stories, along with kissing (often) and explosions (messy). And more shifters than you can shake a stick at.
Parker lives in Oxford, UK, and travels regularly via planes, trains, and an ever-growing library.
