As hunters close in, the shifters of Hardwood Valley try to find and save as many as possible. When a young hummingbird shifter goes out to answer a call for help, he never imagined he’d find love in a candy man’s arms.

Parker Troch is tired of being a third wheel. The hyper hummingbird shifter is ready for some action. When he finds out about a nearby shifter in trouble, and with his friends Tanner and Van out of pocket, he takes the opportunity to go find the shifter and save him, even though he has no clue who he’s looking for, what kind of shifter they are, or even what sex they are. He travels to Grand Junction to begin his search and hope he’s in time before the hunters close in for the kill.
Roger Preston runs a candy store in Grand Junction. For several weeks he’s been looking over his shoulder at the least little thing. He’s convinced someone is stalking him.

His fears are confirmed and the sugar glider shifter finds himself on the run with Parker who he can’t take his eyes off of. Can these two find the strength to let their emotions run free while avoiding the hunters’ gun sights?
