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 ...

“Give me your phone,” the target said, coming up next to the driver.


“I don’t think so,” Brax replied between gritted teeth. “Move and I shoot. Drop the knife.” With his free hand, he took out his phone, dialing 911.


The driver feinted toward him with the knife, and Brax fired. He missed. In the brief time it took for him to shoot again, the two men split up, racing out of the lot. Brax held his fire, not wanting to chance hitting a passing pedestrian. Snapping his phone off, since it was a bit late to report what had happened, Brax teleported to the clinic. Doc Wilson was there, as usual in the evenings. He took one look at Brax, then steered him into an exam room.


“You’ll live,” Wilson said after examining Brax’s wound and bandaging it. “Go home, get some sleep. You’ll be fine in the morning. I hope the other guy got the worst of your confrontation.”


“Unfortunately, not. But I did what I was hired for, so I’m all right with it.”
