There are those who believe some good can come from magic, and those who believe it can bring only evil. Wil is a seeker, a hunter who devotes his life to destroying monsters and protecting humanity from reckless use of magic. Even though working with a spell-caster isn't what Wil ever expected or wanted, he has no choice but to accept the help of Seth, a skilled magician, on an investigation that just might get them both killed.

A murderer is on the loose, one who targets seekers and magicians alike. Between monstrous demons and compromising encounters, Wil and Seth's partnership is filled with danger. To catch the killer they'll have to learn to trust one another and confront the desire burning between them. Playing with it might mean damnation, or it might be salvation for them both.

Excerpt

Seth's smile was really amazing. Wil itched to touch it, to run his fingertips over Seth's lips or lean in and taste his mouth again. Every time Seth looked at Wil that way, Wil's stomach started tying itself up in knots. He wanted this man so badly he could taste it on his dry tongue, and here, in his own bedroom, Wil had him. The struggle between desire and will power had him paralyzed, caught between holding on and giving in.

Seth tilted his head, looking Wil over curiously. Wil felt those pale green eyes reading him, and then Seth's left hand raised, the palm fitting itself perfectly against Wil's cheek. There was no mistaking the needy look that flooded into Seth's eyes as they touched skin to skin once more. If Wil wanted, Seth wanted just as much.

Wil wanted to grab Seth's hand and push it away. He wanted to punch Seth in the gut. He wanted to pull Seth through the door, wrestle him onto the bed and kiss him so hard their lips would bruise. The indecision was maddening, and it made Wil clench his fists in frustration.

"All you know how to do is fight," Seth whispered. "Look at you. You're so twisted up inside, you're fighting yourself now."

"How can you know? Reading my thoughts?" Wil knew it was a silly accusation, but he didn't like anyone being able to see through him so easily.

"I don't need to see inside your head to know what you're feeling, Wil." Seth leaned in and lightly kissed Wil's lower lip. His lips were soft, hot, provocative. They stirred a tamped down burning than ran through Wil's spine and swelled in his groin.
Wil couldn't hold back the desire that enfolded him the way Seth's strong arms were doing at that very moment. Seth's fingertips ran up his spine, stoking the fire in him by little increments. Seth's teeth nipped at Wil's lower lip, and when Wil's mouth opened to make a small sound of protest, Seth's tongue was there. It slipped over his lips, warm and wet, and engaged Wil's tongue in a slow dance. The air filled with heavy sighs and quiet moans muffled between their sealed lips.
