Detective Thaddeus Ezax is in over his head. He’s the only wizard in Rockshade’s Paranormal Investigations Department, and it was his name that got him the job. The Ezaxs are known as some of the most powerful wizards in the world, but Thaddeus isn’t your average Ezaxs. Is it any wonder his family shuns him? When a kidnapping case is dropped into his lap, Thaddeus must act fast. While most five-year-olds can cast a location spell, Thaddeus can't and is forced to get creative. When he finds himself in possession of a black market werewolf skull with a ghost trapped inside, accidentally releases the spirit, and somehow forms a connection with it, things get even crazier. Sandulf Hunter doesn’t remember dying, but he remembers the last thing he saw before everything went black -- a wizard. All wizards must die! The only problem is, the wizard standing next to him smells too damned good, so good Sandy thinks he might have to keep him. And since wherever Thaddeus goes, Sandulf finds himself yanked along, he might not have a choice in the matter anyway.

“Oh, you’re up.” Thaddeus smiled, and a knot formed in Sandy’s gut. Damn, he was—pretty was the wrong word, but Sandy wanted to taste his smile, wanted to put his lips on Thaddeus’ to show everyone here those smiles belonged to him. Fuck


Sandy moved away to increase the distance between him and the woman, hoping no one would notice he moved instead of making the human do it.


The human wouldn’t understand the power struggle, they were most often blind to that sort of thing, but Ric and the cat man wouldn’t be.


The woman nodded and gave Thaddeus a soft smile. The growl climbing Sandy’s throat wouldn’t be halted. Why was she smiling at Sandy’s mate? Didn’t she see Sandy standing here?


Sandy stepped closer to Thaddeus, flashing teeth at the human, and winced at how he was acting. That Ric hadn’t called him on it was a miracle.


“So…You’re saying?” The cat man looked between Thaddeus and the woman.


With a deep breath, Thaddeus focused on the cat man. “I did something really stupid.”
