Broken Wings — Alex Jones

Fear. It was the twitch in his subconscious, like a word stuck in his throat he could never quite say.

Adrian's life is simple: go to work, come home, look no one in the eye. If you don't take risks, you won't die. That's what life has taught him, and in the urban sprawl of the industrial Oregon coast, it's kept him alive. He hasn't had a panic attack in months.

Then one night, a winged man named Cassius makes a crash landing on his doorstep. Out of fear of the government Adrian hides him. But Cassius is more than he seems and when the winged shifter's haunted past comes knocking, Adrian learns the true meaning of fear. He must find the courage to face the darkness or risk losing the man he has grown to love.
