After seven months of an affair they can only pursue on occasional weekends, Jackson Spey and Adin Swift are more in love than ever. More frustrated, too. Their periods of separation are becoming intolerable. Adin can't help but feel responsible...just as he can't help worrying Jackson's patience is wearing thin. Celia, Adin's live-in girlfriend, has been aware of the men's relationship from the start. She also knows Adin's sense of honor will not allow him to walk out on her. Neither stupid nor insensitive, Celia realizes most triangles have a breaking point, and this one has reached that stage. Just as she's on the verge of arranging a meeting with Jackson, the wizard is summoned to do a strange favor for a fellow practitioner of magic. Noah Curry's beloved partner, Perez Pei, has disappeared. Despondent and desperate, Noah uses a unique kind of influence to enlist Jackson's aid. As the lovers wonder what Celia's intentions are and as Adin considers taking drastic measures, the hunt for Perez Pei begins. From his Milwaukee flat to an Illinois farmhouse to a shack in rural Mississippi, Jackson must confront forces, beings, and aspects of his freed sexuality he's never before had to face. He doesn't know if it's extortion or compassion that drives him to help Noah find Perez. He only knows he can't give up. If he does, Adin could be lost to him forever. Content Notes: m/m sexual practices and mild bondage.
