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?

“Russo,” Kyle replied, his expression suddenly grim. “You’re right. So let’s get back to the car, and you can drop me at my hotel on your way home.”


They teleported to where they’d parked the car, then returned the city. As they drove, Brax was aware of the brief glances Kyle gave him—choosing to keep his gaze on the road and ignore themJumping his bones, as he put it, could be fun, but it’s not happening. Not tonight. Probably not ever.


When they arrived at the hotel, Kyle got out, saying, “What time in the morning?”
