Bo
Bos made a career out of debunking the supernatural. His eager fans regularly tune in to discover what hell disprove next. And Bo really should know better than to let them pick where he goes.
Its supposed to be a routine visit to a so-called haunted house. But instead of dust and rats, Bo finds Everil: A strange, beautiful man who faints into his arms.
Which, fine. Weirder things have happened. Except the man claims to be a kelpie. And Bos soulbond. (Which explains why Bo can taste him, snowmelt and frozen grass, from across the room.)
Bo should just walk away. Believing in magic has only ever hurt him. But hes always been too stubborn to take the easy route.
Everil
Everils spent a century hiding from the Faerie realm and his abusive former soulbond. Now the man is back, and Faerie law makes his claim on Everils soul inescapable.
Which means Everil absolutely cannot give his soul to the brash, kind human who barges into his home. Unfortunately, his soul isnt keen on listening to him.
Everils ex will kill Bo if he finds him. To keep the human safe, Everil must break their bond. Only Bo rejects Everils every attempt to protect him, offering rough reassurance in turn.
A proper fae would insist. But Everils always failed at being proper. And Bos honey-sweet soul and wonder are impossible to resist. Despite the perils of homicidal dryads and duplicitous friends, Everil agrees to run. With Bo. Not from him.
Everil is determined to protect his new soulbond. But he soon finds that the true risk comes with the lingering taste of Bos kiss.
