Yearning — Amy Lane

Jack and Teague are human ‘hunters' who have been recruited to work as liaisons between the preternatural world of Green's Hill and the ignorant humans who surround it. Teague's in the game for redemption -- and Jack's in the game for Teague. Teague Sullivan is damaged, haunted, and about the loneliest man Jack has ever met. But Jack sees beyond his scars and his gruffness to kind and valiant man underneath. Teague sees beneath a green idealist under Jack's overtures, and although Teague loves Jack, he makes it cleared that a scarred old dog like himself will never be good enough for a sweet young pup like Jacky.

While the argument rages, Jack is injured in the line of duty and the two hunters are abruptly sucked into the paranormal world that they've been defending. Teague is forced to reevaluate everything he's believed about their relationship. He may be old and damaged, but that doesn't mean he can let his Jacky go somewhere without him, does it?
