The Night Owl and the Insomniac

Long nights lead to intrigue… and infatuation. Chronically ill with a mysterious condition, Yusuf "Joey" Franke escapes his smothering family and doctors by moving halfway across the country to enroll in Cody College. Not long after arriving on campus, some of his symptoms disappear, only to be replaced by debilitating insomnia. Joey spends his nights wandering the halls of his dormitory and hanging out with gregarious and affable Owen, who works the night shift. When he suddenly shifts from a sick college kid to a massive Asiatic lion, Joey discovers another side to Cody College—it's a haven for shifters like himself… and like Owen, a part-time great horned owl. And being a shifter is hereditary, which means his parents have some explaining to do. When Joey and Owen investigate, they discover more than they bargained for—a family deception, a dangerous enemy with international connections, and a love that might be too new to survive the backlash.
