[Siren Classic ManLove: Contemporary, ManLove, Alternative, Shapeshifters, Paranormal, Vampires, MM, HEA] Riddled with insomnia, lion-shifter Joe Anderson struggles to get through each day. Despite this, he works hard and helps out his pack mates whenever he can. He longs for the happiness his brothers have found with their mates but doesn't believe it will ever happen for him. After all, how could four brothers all be lucky enough to find their mates? Traumatised from years of being tortured by a monster, Kourey doesn't think there's enough of him left to have anything to offer a mate. Who could ever want a vampire with a scarred body and fragile mind? Secrets buried in Joe and Kourey's mutual past reveal they are already mated, though they've never so much as kissed. Just when everything seems to be working out, Joe falls ill and no one knows what's wrong with him. Kourey has to gather every scrap of strength and faith to keep believing his mate will find his way back to him.
