Tyler is waging war against his roommate. A quiet engineering student, Ren won't give Tyler the time of day- unless it's to tell him to turn his music down. Tyler doesn't know what he's done to deserve the cold shoulder, but he figures if he's going to be disliked, he might as well properly earn it. So, Tyler goes all out: dishes in the sink, laundry on the couch, loud laughter and even louder friends. But despite his obnoxious bids for attention, Tyler can't seem to make Ren notice him... until one eventful winter break, when Tyler forgets to take his medication... and shrinks. Stuck at his size until he can get a refill on his prescription, Tyler suddenly finds himself relying on Ren for, well, everything. ...what's the worst that could happen?

Niles knows a lot about faeries. As a doctor who specializes in treating fae, he's become a leading expert in his field. But when a new patient crosses his path, a hybrid faerie named Ashton, even he begins to doubt his ability to help this patient. Ashton doesn't know where he is or how long he's been away from home. All he knows is that he shouldn't trust this new human doctor who is trying to help him adjust to life without his wings. Convinced that there is no way to get back home without endangering his entire clan, Ashton has resigned himself to his current predicament and given up on a hopeful future. As Niles tries to connect with this reserved and cautious faerie, and Ashton tries to rebuild his life from scratch, they both learn what it means to trust and move forward.

**sequel to Flightless** It's been three years since Ashton last saw Niles, and he can't get the human out of his head. So, when an unexpected opportunity presents itself, Ashton immediately jumps on the chance to go back to Niles- this time to stay. Niles has kept himself busy the last few years.
