Distant Edge was supposed to be a sanctuary, an accommodating paradise in Southern California away from the homophobia and hate. And even though I have a house with roommates who accept me for the gay shape-shifter I am, I’ve never really had a home, never felt loved.

Then I meet Alec.

He’s charming, captivating and soothes my anger and self-loathing. The sexy pole dancer brings my heart–along with other body parts—to life. With him I see a future I’ve only dreamed of.

But the same evil that destroyed my family is hunting Alec, and while I’m more than ready to be his safe haven, secrets from my past may tear us apart, putting us both in the path the killers.

I will move heaven and hell to keep him by my side. My beast will have it no other way.
