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 ...

“Have a seat,” Kyle gestured to the chair beside him. “Then we can get down to business.”


“I prefer to stand,” Russo said, coming to a stop in front of Kyle, his massive bulk blocking the light from the overhead fixtures.


“Before we get down to the business at hand,” Kyle said, steeling his expression not to let Russo know how intimidated he was feeling as he looked up at him, “I have a question.” This was strictly spur of the moment, but he thought Brax might want to know what Russo’s reply would be. “Not too long ago an acquaintance of mine, a black wolf, was out for a run when some hunters shot him. Was that your doing?”


Russo snarled as he answered with, “That wolfwas a thorn in my side, a few years ago. He avoided my wrath back then and it wasn’t until quite recently that I was able to locate him again. So, to answer your question, yes, I sent two of my people after him.”
