Ian and Erika have a great friendship; one where status does not matter. When Erika is pursued by a high-status male, however, Ian's protective instincts flare and a gauntlet is thrown that he is not prepared to accept; but accept he must or lose the female he loves forever.
Erika likes her new suitor. He is strong, confident, and carries the qualities of a leader. If he were Ian, he would be perfect.
Does Ian have what it takes to win the female he loves, or will he relinquish his love to a man who comes from better blood?
