Captain John Casinov has two loves in his life—his family and his work. When his son, Jonathan, and the man's family visits from Santa Cruz—primarily to try to convince him to retire and move south—John takes advantage of one of his detective's offer. He accepts a bunch of free passes to the marine park, World of Aquatica. While there, he finds his interest snagged by a big, friendly, black-haired man. The handsome man brazenly introduces himself as William Roush...then he asks John on a date. While he's flattered, John laughs it off while declining. Undeterred, William approaches John a second time later that day, so he accepts. Imagine his surprise when John discovers who William actually is—the partial owner of the marine park. John doesn't understand why a man who's young, confident, and rich—who could have anyone he wants—would pursue him. When William shares that shifters are real, John wonders at the man's sanity...until William actually proves it. Can John come to grips with his newfound knowledge and accept William into his life? Or will retiring and running be the decision of the day?
