Building on a Hope by Michele Notaro

Raph and Isiah have always had a complicated relationship. Can bringing a human into the mix help them all come together, or will having Laz in their lives end in disaster?

Isiah:
I’ve been in love with Raph for well over a century, but my heart’s been broken one too many times to give him a chance. Still, I want him to be happy, he’s my soul-pledged, after all. So when the holidays come and I see how much he likes Laz, I push the two of them together. But now that I’m on the outside, my jealousy flares, only I can’t figure out if I’m jealous of Laz or of Raph.

Raph:
Having a soul-pledged for all these years has been a dream, but I’ve always craved a romantic connection. So when Izzy pushes me toward Laz, I jump at the chance because I’ve never met anyone like him. My feelings keep growing for my little human, but that doesn’t change what I’ve always felt for Izzy.

Laz:
When warlocks walked into my life a year ago, everything changed for me. Magic is real, soulmates are a thing, and no matter how hard I try, I can’t quell my attraction to Raph. Or to Izzy. But now that I’m dating Raphael, not Isiah, I need to push the crazy thoughts out of my head. Too bad my heart isn’t receiving the message.
Will Izzy, Laz, and Raph be able to rifle through their complicated emotions and come together? Or will the danger Raph senses lurking by catch up to them before they truly get the chance?
