I am Gamble Holloway, and I’m on a mission to save a man.

One could say that my road has been a bumpy one, and you’d be right. Only, just when I believed it was about to calm down, I was thrown for another loop, and I’ve had to fight back to get into control all over again.

What was that loop?

Well, after figuring out that my heart was so broken that I’d never be able to love another woman again, after Storm, I fell in love with a man.

Oh, and not just any man.

No.

I managed to fall in love with the best man in the whole world.

My shrink.

Oh, I know what you’re thinking and that is that it’s so damn wrong for a psychiatrist to have a relationship with his patient, but in all honesty, I fired him first before that line was crossed.

And he didn’t take advantage of me.

If anything, I was the aggressor.

It started out as a patient-doctor relationship, but now it’s evolved.

Now, it’s‘a runaway doctor and no longer patient’relationship.

The man upped and ran from me the second I was distracted.

See?

My life is seldom easy, and my relationship with Poe isn’t easy either.

Apparently.

Now, as I’m finally healed from the blow Storm had delivered to me, I now have to play chase, finding the man who left me behind.

The same man who was angry at me when I’d been upfront and honest and said I was going to leave to keep him safe.

The same man who talked me into staying, only to bail on me right afterward.

Yeah, that man.

Doctor Poe Seville ran for the hills, and I know that he’s not thinking straight.

Why?

Because Von Donore, the baddest bad guy we’ve encountered yet as Hunters, has slipped through our fingers and disappeared.

He’s not contained, and Poe is in danger.

Oh, we’re tracking him, but the mere idea that Poe is out in the world, alone, and vulnerable after his parent’s murder…

Yeah, that isn’t happening.

Why?

He’s my man.

He imprinted on me, and now, I’m stupid in love with him. When I found out he returned home without me, I was sad, angry, and worried.
