[Siren Publishing: The Lynn Hagen ManLove Collection: Erotic Romance, Contemporary, Alternative, Paranormal, Shape-shifters, Vampires, Suspense, MM, HEA] Dakota needs a fresh start, not a reason to stay. Crimson Hollow is supposed to be temporary, just a quiet place to disappear while he figures out his next move. Then his landlord smiles at him, and temporary starts feeling a lot less certain. Between stolen moments in a sugar-sweet kitchen and late nights that feel like something dangerously close to home, what's growing between them is real. But when Dakota's past shows up on his doorstep, everything he's just begun to believe in is suddenly at stake. Kivani has been waiting three hundred years for the one person meant for him. The moment he meets Dakota, the search is over. Earning his mate's trust is another matter entirely. Patience has always been the secret to perfect taffy. Turns out, it's the secret to everything worth having. But Kivani didn't wait centuries to lose what’s his. Some people run from their future. Some futures refuse to let them.
