No Small Parts - Bluewater Bay, #16

Nat Horn is almost living the dream. His part as a werewolf extra on the hit show Wolf's Landing has somehow turned into a regular role. Beautiful rising star Solari Praveen has taken an interest in him. He's even making enough money to think about getting out of Bluewater Bay someday. Except his retired dad's dependence on pain medications seems to be getting worse, and Nat's the only one around to take care of him.
When Nat learns that Solari's interest isn't romantic, his disappointment is surprisingly short-lived, because in getting to know her, he also got to know her assistant, Rafael. And Rafael turns out to be the kind of friend - and potential boyfriend - Nat never dared to dream about. Distracted by his astonishing new life, new friends, and new possibilities, Nat lets his guard down, and suddenly his life goes careening out of control.
Racked by guilt, he tries to push his new friends away, but the bonds he's formed are already too strong. In fact, they're strong enough to pull him forward, into the future he's been longing for - but to get there, he'll have to let go of the past.~NOTE: The Bluewater Bay stories can be read in any order - jump in wherever you'd like!
