BOOK BLURB:
James is a little surprised when co-worker Vic disappears, but he's even more surprised when the man shows up again months later, after securing a supervisory position. He never used to think Vic was hot, but something has changed, something he can't quite put his finger on. When Vic makes a play for him, James is happy to go along, but will Vic turn out to be the perfect man for him?

BOOK REVIEW:
This rather creepy little Halloween story from Clare London is full of surprises. James likes sex with lots of different people, even his co-worker Vic from time to time. But Vic is no one he'd want for a permanent boyfriend: James is waiting for Adonis, for perfection.

When Vic comes back after a long unexplained absence, he's different somehow. James is puzzled by the changes, but can't define exactly what's happened. Vic's eyes are blue instead of brown, he's toned, his lips are plump. He has all the characteristics James was looking for, but ~ he's still Vic.

Can Vic be the perfection for which James has been looking?

Set in a mortuary, this shivery quick read is both sexy and creepy. Nothing is as you expect. Clare London expertly sets the eerie tone of her story, drawing her characters with a practiced hand. James is careless, not too bright and not very perceptive. Vic is sly, conniving, and determined to have what he wants. Is perfection possible? Vic thinks so, and, after reading this story, you will know how he achieves it.
