Doctor Anthony Channon, commonly known as Ant, had a stalker. Fortunately, with his abilities as a level twelve mage he knew the man didn't mean him any harm. Unfortunately, other people didn't feel so kindly toward Ant as he went about his business as a psychic police consultant, and after an errant bullet, Ant finally comes face to face with his stalker and learns one life-changing truth.

Viktor, no last name because a vampire didn't need one, had been working for a mob boss when he crossed paths with an intriguing mage. Compelled to follow him around, for no reason whatsoever except he wanted to, Viktor had a chance to be face to face with the man when someone tried to kill him... or his service animal, because that part is still being debated. The truth about his compulsion didn't hit him until later, but when Viktor finally worked it out, he knew keeping the mage safe wasn't going to be easy.

With bullets flying, a sassy sister, a dog who had teeth and knew how to use them, and forces working against them, the path to a happy ever after wasn't easy for Viktor and Ant. But sometimes, when the going gets tough, a vampire just had to do his thing, and a mage just had to let him.
