Special Border Patrol agent Alex, who can shape shift into a raven, is used to working alone. He honors his Scots ancestry and has never met another shifter except for kinfolk back in Scotland. When he’s required to accept a partner, he normally manages to get rid of them quickly by being so distant, remote, and downright weird they cannot deal with him. But the latest one, Native American Manuel, poses a whole new range of challenges.<br><br>Manuel Ortiz is a member of the Tohono O’Odham tribe who works for the Border Patrol to support his ailing elderly parents. He has a secret he’s never dared to dare to share: he can shape shift into a Red Tailed Hawk. When his superiors team him with cold, cynical Alex, he’s not sure why until he learns Alex has a similar curse -- or gift.<br><br>Together they begin to form an uneasy bond. Confronting an evil and completely alien drug cartel boss, they have to cooperate to survive and in doing so learn the synergy of partnership. They discover flying together can open a whole new world for them both and riding on the wings of love can be magical indeed.

Wings of Love

Is that what you do—smell things, wrong things and supernatural things and stuff?


He really didn’t want to know, but he’d probably find out soon enough. And Alex might even find out about the hawk…That was the scariest idea of all, at least right now.


“What are we supposed to be doing exactly?” That seemed like a safer question. He did need to know after all. Alex wore black, but Manuel was in his normal green military style uniform, not real obtrusive, but still well known to anyone along the border, no matter which side or what their purpose was for being there. Would he feel safer in something less obvious or not?
