For the Rest of Eternity — Lynn Hagen

Jacob was devastated when the doctor diagnosed him with a rare blood disorder. Deciding to make the best of what time he has left, Jacob casts all caution aside and pursues the one man he had been warned away from...Shelby. Shelby smells the sickness on Jacob, his mate. After finding out that Jacob doesn't have much longer to live, he begs the prince to convert the human, but Christian refuses. He tells Shelby that the choice is up to Jacob and Jacob alone. When Shelby is attacked by a pair of rogue vampires, Jacob learns the people in this world are not just human. He can live with that. But what he can't live with is the fact that he is too weak to defend the man he is quickly falling in love with. Time is running out and Shelby isn't sure he can convince his mate to be converted. When Jacob collapses right before Shelby's eyes, Shelby realizes just how close he is to losing the one man fate has given him to love for the rest of eternity.
