Lance Fitz is an orphan, lost in the foster care system. He's a survivor and tough as nails. Attacked and beaten, his attacker is murdered. Lance, with blood on his hands and a broken spirit, flees to the solitude of the peaceful pine forest of the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Andrew Reed, a handsome shape shifter discovers a man in his barn loading a duffel bag with supplies. Before he can ask questions, the young man spots him and runs. Andrew chases after him. What he discovers at the end of a fast paced run through the woods astounds them both.
Can Andrew help Lance heal enough to trust him? Can he convince Lance to stay before he runs out of Andrew's life, forever beyond his reach and the slavery that has him bound to the land and vampires?

Excerpt
PROLOGUE
"Nine-one-one. What is your emergency?"
"There's blood everywhere. I'm trying to make it stop but his throat's cut. How do I make it stop?!"
"What is your address and I will send an ambulance..."
"I don't know... I just moved here yesterday. His name's Roger Reese. Please, there's blood everywhere...
"It won't stop... I can't hold it together..."
"Police are en route and I have an ambulance on the way... Stay on the line with me okay..."
"Please hurry! I don't think he's breathing anymore!
"The blood's everywhere... How do I stop it... I can't hold the wound together..."
CHAPTER 1
I stood in the barn, my backpack filled with the items I was borrowing. Everything had a coating of dust, I figured nobody would miss them; I'd return them when I was finished. I wasn't stealing--just borrowing.
He walked into the barn, on the opposite side from where I stood. I froze--unable to even breathe--caught with my hands quite literally in the cookie jar... a big ceramic Pooh bear full of nails, which I'd been adding to my backpack of spoils. He was tall, at least six feet, clearly older than me by a year or two. My breath caught, and not because of what I was doing... I'd never seen a man as ruggedly handsome. He was bare-chested and his jeans hung low on his hips. His body was lean and muscular. His skin was a deep golden brown that stretched across a muscular chest and ripped abs. He had spiked black hair and large sky blue eyes. Surprise flashed across his face as he saw me, and in that instant--I ran. Could have stared at him all day... I mused as my sneakers pounded the dirt. He seemed exotically beautiful, those blue eyes and black hair. Another day--another lifetime--I could get lost in him. Today--no time--gotta run. With my spoils in my duffel over my shoulder, I made for the tree line in a dead sprint. He gave chase--on my heels, calling after me. I didn't turn around to see how far he'd follow--I just ran. The trees--the forest--they were my safety zone.
Where does he think he's going? I thought as I ran, my breath coming in controlled pants. He didn't stop at the trees. I could hear feet running after me. Crunch--crunch--pant--crunch--crunch--the rhythm of breathing and running through the tree litter, muffling our footfalls. I'm fast--you learn to be fast when your life depends on how quickly you can disappear. He steadily fell behind despite being taller than me. In no time, I couldn't hear him anymore. I didn't stop. It might've been the adrenaline from being caught, but it felt like he still followed, still tracked me.
I'd put a couple miles between me and the ranch, following the animal trails I'd become familiar with. I'd lost him, but I continued to run anyway. I could feel the thrill of the chase and the adrenaline in my veins. Panting hard, I reveled in the heady feeling that running wild through the trees gave me. A part of me never wanted to stop. I felt like I could outrun anything--anytime--anywhere.
"Ah!" I screamed. A pain stronger than anything I'd ever felt hit my stomach like a sledgehammer, knocking the wind clear out of my lungs, ripping my guts from my body until I was sure they were scattered across the forest floor. I fell, tumbling to my hands and knees--duffel bag sliding to the ground.
I curled into a pain-filled fetal ball, trying to hold myself together through the intense cramping. For the first time it hit me how alone and vulnerable it was to live like this, but only for a second as the pain came again in an overwhelming wave. My insides boiled and my skin crawled. I clawed at my arms, wanting to peel the skin from my body in chunks. I couldn't stand the scratchy irritating touch of my clothes. I screamed in agony, as I yanked on my shirt and pants, dragging them off, away from my oversensitive skin as quickly as I could. I struggled, trying to gasp for air, but I couldn't breathe because the air wouldn't go into my lungs.
I felt my bones turning to jelly and reshaping themselves. My joints were changing direction. My chest seemed to expand, getting larger and deeper. Fur... fur?... seemed to force itself from through skin and cover my body. Claws and paws replaced fingers and hands... and I could see my nose... well, not my nose but a large brown snout sticking out from my face. When the pain finally subsided, and I could breathe again, I found myself standing on four legs and I had a tail. A thick chocolate brown pelt covered my body, except for my stomach and feet which were white. I walked in circles looking at my tail, in complete disbelief.
From all the parts I could see, I could only come up with one possible answer--I had gone completely nuts.
