Braxton “Brax” O'Hara is a shifter, a PI ... and an art thief. He has no problem with being all three. As a matter of fact, he likes his less than legal job. Kyle Grayson is a member of an all-shifter art crimes team. He does everything within his power to catch the thieves he's after, and believes he's found his next quarry -- Brax O'Hara. Things take a turn for the worse when Russo, Brax's partner in crime, wants him to retrieve some blackmail pictures instead of a piece of art. At the same time, Kyle comes into the picture. When the two men meet, they discover they both know the blackmailer -- and they both hate him, too, for different reasons. Can they stop Russo, a powerful Alpha shifter? More to the point, can they deal with their attraction to each other when they have nothing in common except Russo?

Nothing In Common, Except ...

Kyle knew O’Hara was trying to figure him out. Now he had to decide how open he should be with the man. By now he must have figured out why I’m interested in him and Mr. Pence. Not that he’ll admit what they do. Well, what I’m pretty damned surethey do. How the hell did I manage to screw this up? He knew the answer to that. He was too eager to solve the series of art thefts he was investigating. As a result, he’d paid a visit to Mr. Pence when he should have investigated him from afar.


“Nice place, Mr. O’Hara,” Kyle said when they were in the apartment.


“It’s Brax, and thanks. Have a seat.”


With a nod, Kyle sat at one end of the sofa. Brax took the chair opposite it.


For a moment, neither man spoke. Then, curious, Kyle asked, “Do you do surveillance on straying spouses?”


Apparently surprised at the question, Brax replied, “Very rarely.” He smiled slightly. “We leave that to the sleazier PIs in town. Why do you ask?”
