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?

“We’re good,” Kyle said softly. “Let’s make ourselves at home until she gets back.”


“And scare the shit out of her when she comes through the door?”


“It is what it is. Besides, her being frightened will give us the initial edge. Of course, if she has company…”


“Hopefully, that won’t happen,” Brax replied. “But if so, you take him, I’ll deal with her.”
