Soothing the Zebra's Fears — Charlie Richards

At nearly three centuries old, Diego Tamang decides to take a more proactive approach to finding his mate. He walks away from leading his pack, so he can travel with Kontra Belikov and his shifter motorcycle gang. His decision pays off when he walks into a backwater town's diner and scents his mate, Zachary Young. Quickly making his intentions clear, Diego wonders what will be harder to overcome -- Zachary's young age, or his mother's clearly displeased attitude. It turns out, neither, for soon Diego discovers that witches may have caused Zachary's injury, which forces him to use a cane…and Zachary doesn't know he's a shifter. Can Diego ease his young lover into the paranormal world while keeping him safe from those that would do him harm?
