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?

“I’ll leave you to it, Brax. Let me know if you come up with anything more on what we were discussing.” Judd nodded to Kyle as he left, closing the door on his way out.


“What are you doing here?” Brax asked, spinning his chair around to face Kyle.


“I got your message. I don’t know if it was meant for me, personally, but I took it as such,” Kyle replied, crossing the room to stand directly in front of Brax.


For a brief moment, Brax remained silent. Then he said, “I suppose in a way it was.”


“It was something I had to do. That it was that particular item I returned was just luck of the draw.”
