Attraction and confusion plague the pair as his time on the island dwindles. He wants her. She wants him. Both have reservations about the relationship and for good reason. The more their differences clash, the more doubt creeps in. Is the shifter life for someone who's merely curious? Maybe. Maybe not. Will his secret destroy them or or will she destroy his secret? less
