Mistvale Universe – Stella Rainbow

Paxton had a secret. Something that would change everything if it came out, and he hated change.

Paxton

Growing up, my mother moved often, and treated me more like a servant than her son. When she finally abandoned me, with no food, water, or place to go, he found me. The dad I’d never known.

With Dad came his mate, Memphis, and his son, Neel. The four of us became a family, and I finally found my place in the world. Until I discovered something that could change everything if spoken out loud. After a lifetime of changes, and I was done with them, no matter how enticing this one was. I’d take this secret to my grave, if only Neel would let me.

Neel

Paxton and I had shared a home and a family for the last eleven years, but lately, I’d started seeing him in a different light. When our gazes met, they lingered. When we talked—before our conversation inevitably turned into an argument—I found myself focusing on the warmth of his voice more than the words said.

I knew I wasn’t alone in feeling this way, but for some reason, Paxton refused to be honest. He wanted to pretend nothing had changed, but that was a lie. Everything had changed, and I would get him to accept that if it was the last thing I did.

Paxton’s Secret is an MM paranormal romance featuring a skittish griffin who hates change, a human determined to make him face the music, two nosy Dads, a bunch of helpful (or so they’d like to believe) uncles, and the usual Mistvale madness.
