title: Julian's Reluctant Love
author: Jacks, Marcy
description: Hank Monroe has lost a lot in his life. After accidentally killing his brother during a battle with the vampires, he has never been able to properly hold a gun or a bow since. He's worked hard to drive everyone away, and he's made it no secret that he hates everything paranormal. Julian Rossi, despite being an ice mage, just cannot seem to stay away. He's fallen for Hank at first sight, and he's determined to show him that not all paranormals are bad, and that he might just enjoy having a relationship with one. Despite his efforts, Hank finds himself slowly warming up to the other man's advances and finding that he enjoys being with other people again, but when Julian is taken from him in a vampire raid, Hank must pick up his gun and go after him. Will he have the courage to pull the trigger to save the new love of his life?
