Fighting for his Fox — Charlie Richards

Just a little Love Bite: When a man who thinks he's straight acknowledges his attraction to another guy, he has to fight more than the shifter's stubbornness to win him. When Jerome Harsnen's best buddy, Stanton, meets a hot guy and gives in to his bisexuality, he learns something unimaginable—vampires are real. Stanton's lover is one, and he's part of a coven in Montana. Since Jerome's younger brother is already living in another state, he decides to move with Stanton when his buddy asks him to. While Jerome could admit to being wholly unprepared to live with a coven of vampires, he's even more ill-equipped to handle meeting a shifter who revs his engine like no one ever has before. The shifter lets slip that Jerome is his mate, but then he walks away. After some soul-searching, Jerome decides to track the man down. It's a small town, after all. He discovers the guy is a red fox shifter named Deputy Cain Whistler. When Jerome goes to introduce himself, he's surprised to find Cain having lunch with his fiancée. At least that answers why Cain walked away. With the wedding fast approaching, can Jerome figure out if his fox is worth fighting for and why Cain would be willing to walk away from his fated mate?
