When Jude entered The Passing Through Cafe, Toni thought he'd be nothing more than a fun night, a challenge to win, a fixation to satisfy; Toni didn't expect Jude to be exactly what he never knew he was looking for.

As the rightful heir to the Maryno family dynasty, Toni grew up with clear expectations of who he was supposed to be, and more importantly, who he wasn't. Growing up a constant disappointment isn't a childhood experience he recommends, but he's come a long way from the little boy who could never measure up to his family's toxic standards. At twenty-nine, he's finally proud of the man he's built himself into, and while the routine of his life is simple and, sure, sometimes lonely, he's content.

Or so he thought.

Enter Jude, a human from across the veil, who ignites something in him that he's never allowed himself to explore, and Toni can't wait to burn. While the spark of attraction is instantaneous, he knows it's going to take more than a romp in the hay to win the human over. So Toni quickly sets to work, proving to Jude that home can be found in the most unexpected places, that chosen family is always worth fighting for, and that their love is far from small.

Join Toni and the rest of the eccentric staff of The Passing Through Cafe in Nik Knight's rom-com urban fantasy series, full of found family, hilarious hijinks, spectacular self-discovery, and love that defies definition.
