Teague Sullivan is putting his life as a member of Green¿s preternatural hill together one piece at a time. He¿s become Jacky¿s lover, given Katy the go-ahead to try to mate with the two of them, and has proven himself as one of Lady Cory¿s elite guard for the hill. Now all he has to do is allow his feelings for Katy and Jack take over in order to seal the deal. But Teague¿s whole life has been an exercise in living without: living without food, living without safety, living without love. Now that food and safety are guaranteed, will Teague learn that reaching for the people he loves can be just a simple? Or will his desire for the ultimate home be forever beyond his touch?
