Appointment With Love — Josette Reuel

Reece Tupoh lived his life in the shadows. A warlock-demon hybrid, both races would prefer him dead. So, with an asshole for a father who cared more about status than family and a mother who couldn't be bothered with a squalling baby, Reece figured he was better off alone. Then, he'd met his familiar and his mentor who helped him find a rocky peace with who he was. However, he still had to hide himself from everyone, because deep down he knew he was a monster. Heath - no last name - had been abandoned as a kitten. It wasn't until his mentor found him he'd learned he was more than a cat. Shifting into his human form for the first time had been a thoroughly shocking experience and not just for him. Familiars were female. Heath wasn't. Finding his warlock healed some of his deep wounds, but he knew he needed more. He needed his mate.Ruth Dixon's mother became pregnant one well-lubricated all hallows eve. Nine months later, Ruth appeared. A serious disappointment, she'd been kicked out of the coven at sixteen. Finding her mentor saved her life because the truth was, Ruth had been ready to find out if the summer lands were real. Thankfully, her mentor had taught her how to harness her power and feed her desires.Now, several years later, these three misfits are brought together for the reading of their mentor's will.
