Haben Bello heads for Kansas to help his old friend, Wes. The human attorney deals with child custody in shifter-human cases, protecting shifter secrets. Wes needs help uncovering the true motives behind a young boy�s mother who suddenly wants custody after she�d given up all rights to him twelve years before. When Haben meets the boy�s human foster father, Lou Reynolds, he realizes the man is his mate.
Lou is still coming to grips with the fact that shifters exist. It�s one thing for his son to be able to turn into a lion, but a spider? Lou may be able to accept Haben the man, but can he learn how to accept Haben the tarantula? And what about when Haben�s job in town is done and he decides to move on? Lou has a son and can�t just up and leave to join Haben on his nomadic travels. Can Lou trust Haben�s insistence that he�s willing to turn his life upside down, adopt a lion shifter cub, and settle down after nearly one hundred years of freedom?
