As an officer in the United Earth Alliance, Major Derek Hale understands the order of things and his place in the world. Yet, a decade of war and a lifetime of dedicated service have taken its toll. The only thing that has kept him sane all these years is the video logs of a scientist he’d found years ago, buried in the rubble of a research station on Callisto. He knows that the man in the videos – Stiles – is long gone, lost to the vastness of space, but to Derek, he’s alive. In fact, he thinks he has fallen half in love with the boundless energy and bright-eyed optimism of the image he sees on his screen. Then, everything changes when a fateful mission strands him on the surface of a desolate moon … and brings him face-to-face with a man he had only ever dreamed of meeting.

Seven years after being tricked and imprisoned by the Argents as a teenager, Derek Hale finds himself off the blistering coasts of Antarctica aboard the Argentum Domina, an illegal prison ship out of which the Argents operate their behemoth, underground poaching empire. He spends his days working off his “servitude” as a poacher, supplying the family with supernatural creatures to sell on the Black Magic Market. A bitter, pack-less alpha, Derek is just trying to retain his sanity as he earns back the years of his life one capture at a time. But there doesn’t seem to be an end, or future, in sight for him. Until, everything changes when Allison Argent brings him an impossible case file with a reward price so ludicrous that he has no choice but to accept. The only problem is, the target creature shouldn’t even exist.

Derek is swept fast into the deep webbings of a bigger mystery than he could have ever imagined. And discovers that, like this enchanting creature, not everything is as it appears to be. There are secrets being kept from him, hidden plots at play that have puppeteered his life for so many years. Can Derek unmask these year-old schemes that threaten not only his life, but the state of the very world itself?

Stiles and Derek were meant for each other from the moment they met. It just took life a little longer to get it right.

[excerpt]:

Stiles was a seventeen-year-old boy with a more than healthy libido, okay? And Derek and Kate were arguably the most attractive people in the entire school, but… This was Derek. The star quarterback who also happened to be Stiles’ best friend. The guy who’d eaten an earthworm as a dare after Stiles watched Bear Grylls do it on TV. The person who would FaceTime Stiles at all hours of the night if Stiles couldn’t sleep. The friend who imagined faraway, out-of-this-world places and who wanted so many of the same things out of life, it was like he and Stiles shared the same brain, only better.

Even though they’d talked about sex, Stiles had never thought of Derek in that way.

Until today..

The "sweater curse" or "curse of the love sweater" is a term used by knitters to describe the belief that if a knitter gives a hand-knit sweater to a significant other, it will lead to the recipient breaking up with the knitter.

When Stiles and Derek were children, a misunderstanding created a rift between Claudia Stilinski, owner of The Hale Yarn Company, and Talia Hale, the best knitter and spinner in the county, leading to the opening of Lucky Ewe, Claudia Stilinski's yarn store.

Stiles and Derek have been lifelong competitors at the Beacon County Fair and after their mothers died, became owners of competing yarn shops. Derek is a budding knitwear designer on the eve of the release of his first book of patterns. Stiles wants him on his popular knitting YouTube show despite the decade-long feud between the Stilinski's and Hales. Hijinks, fluff, and ridiculousness ensue, and the boys get their happy ending.

He saves Scott but a new problem rears its head when he jumps back to the present. So, Stiles goes back to fix it and finds the present even worse.

What started out as a dare turned into the best thing that has ever happened to Stiles. Ever since he dressed as Naughty Red for the last Halloween of his senior year, Stiles has found out his arch-nemesis doesn’t despise him, the Hales are much weirder than anyone in Beacon Hills would believe, and he looks damn good in lace.

Incident after incident with Derek Hale crumbles Stiles’s resolve to keep his freshly-realized feelings hidden. Can he mend their broken friendship before it’s too late or will asking for more from Derek push the basketball captain away forever?
