Jeremiah's Heart — Lynn Hagen

When Sylvester Condone agrees to go out on a date with Charles Sinclair, he has no idea it will start a chain of events that will unravel right before his very eyes. Jeremiah Edwards finds himself rescuing a human who has been experimented on by the alpha and doesn't think the man will live through the night. Throwing caution to the wind, Jeremiah bites Sylvester to free the human from the all-consuming pain the experiment has caused. Though strangers, Jeremiah and Sylvester form a bond they both treasure. But when the drug starts having adverse effects on Sylvester, they find the only way to stop the pain is to give Sylvester the cure-but the cure severs the bond between them. Never before has this happened, and both men feel a loss so great neither thinks he will survive. Will fate find a way to reunite them, or will both men lose what they worked so hard to build?
