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 ...

Brax hurried to him, kneeling again to ask, “How are you feeling? Okay, stupid question.”


Kyle’s battered lips turned up in a semblance of a smile. “Like someone, okay, Russo, decided I’d make a good punching bag, with the added attraction of a nice victim for some knife play.” He groaned, trying to sit up. Against his better judgment, Brax helped him. “Whatever he shot me up with,” Kyle said, “kept me from moving or getting away. Unfortunately, it didn’t stop me feeling everything the bastard did to me.”


“Only what it says in the ID I was carrying, which obviously isn’t in my name. I think going back to the hotel is a no-go at this point. The same with using my car.”


Brax growled, saying, “It’s a damned good thing Caleb’s office is sound- and bug-proof. But you’re not leaving here until I check to be sure the bastard didn’t plant something on you. I’ll be right back.”
