Zeke Hanson hunts things in the night. He learned about hunting from his dad until his murder forced Zeke into foster care. Outgoing & with an easy charm, Zeke keeps his emotions safely hidden--especially his ever-deepening love for his foster brother/bestie, Ian.
Ian Clark is a smart, intuitive young man with his own tragic past. He’s adored Zeke since their first night as roommates. Zeke's warmth and kindness made the foster home feel safe. Ian's platonic feelings for Zeke have grown into love and physical yearning.
When their foster sister is murdered, Ian abandons his plans to attend community college & instead joins Zeke on his hunting travels. They can't stop human monsters, but they can fight supernatural ones. Hunting together & dealing with dangerous situations deepens their bond. Hiding their true feelings is nearly impossible, but the risk of rejection and abandonment is scarier than any monster.
When Zeke’s life is at risk, Ian must make a choice. Will they admit their love or will it---and Zeke---perish?

I love him like the foster brother he is, Ian told himself firmly. We spent some hard years growing up together. Of course I love him. It's just getting all kind of confused, that's all. With us moving around all the time and the danger and so on. That's all.
Yeah, buddy. You keep on fooling yourself.
