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 ...

“I say we hit up his house, first, but not until tomorrow night,” Brax said.


“Why first? Okay, never mind. The bordello is the first place he’d expect anyone to look. But if he’s smart, he’s got copies of the negatives both places, so we might want to hit both of them tomorrow night, before he realizes they’re missing.”


“Good idea. It’s late, so why don’t we meet at my apartment after I get off work tomorrow. Say, six-thirty. We’ll make plans and go from there.”


“I hope you’re a good safecracker,” Kyle said, moments after Brax let him into his apartment at six-thirty Thursday evening.


Brax smirked. “I think that’s what’s known as a rhetorical question, or statement. After all—” he looked innocently at Kyle “—I do install them for clients, and I’ve tested each one to make certain that the average, or even above average, thief can’t get into them.”
