The Blood Master by B.A. Stretke

Even in the darkest places, light will find a way in…

Joel Penny is living in a nightmare. A one-night stand turned into a never-ending horror working at a strip club run by a disreputable bear clan. The only thing worse than the bears were the patrons at the club, the absolute worst of the Chicago paranormal scene. Joel wishes he could return to his normal life, but no one is looking for him. There is no one coming to save him.
Master Conall Rose is spoiling for a fight. The bear clan on the south side has gotten out of control, and it’s making all the paranormal groups look bad. Conall goes to the strip club that night looking to settle some scores but ends up locking eyes with a tantalizing dancer on stage, a young man putting on a show but trembling with fear. Conall has found his fate-chosen beloved.

Can Conall save young Joel from the nightmare surrounding him and win his heart, which has been bruised by a life of disappointment?
