Breaking Ties — Vaughn R. Demont

A sidekick's work is never done.

Kicked out of his family, fetching coffee for idiots, out of cash, and usually starving, Spencer Crain is a shadow of his former self. And more certain than ever that living a normal, serious life is the last thing a Coyote should shoot for. When he gets the chance to investigate a troll/sidhe gunfight at Under The Bridge, he can't drop "office intern" from his resume fast enough. Even if it means bringing the last person he ever thought he'd see again back into his life-his father. James Black, the Sorcerer King, was taking an inordinately long time to choose a draconic protector, but his kidnapping by dragons seems a little extreme. It's up to Spence to navigate Fae politics, work the Feud, bring down a murderous order of sidhe knights, and heroically save James, the man he loves. Assisted by the guy James has been dating. Ain't love grand?

Warning: This novel contains a Coyote doing the ultimate thankless job-the sidekick-dragon-shifter sorcerers, Dwarves, pop-culture references, and a shotgun that shoots lightning bolts. Freakin' lightning bolts, people
