Years ago, empath Elijah Long made a bad decision, and he is still paying for it. He’s kept hidden from his abusive werewolf ex for years, but when he wakes in a dark room, cuffed to a wall, he knows he’s out of luck. Elora, his psychic sister, will come for him, he just has to endure long enough to give her a chance to find him. Captain Kol Jaecar of Rockshade’s Paranormal Investigations Department detests slow times at work, so when Elora wants time off to search for her brother, Kol treats it as if it’s a real case and starts an investigation. What he assumed was a brother not picking up when his sister called turns out to be something else. Elijah experiences people’s emotions so strongly, it prohibits him from living a normal life. Spending time in the city is out of the question, yet it’s where Elora takes him once she finds him. Elijah does his best to keep his distance, especially from the growling man Elora brought to his rescue. Elijah will never make the mistake of getting close to a shifter again. The moment Kol smells Elijah, he knows he’s his mate, but how to get close to someone who doesn’t want to be near you? The man who abused Elijah is still on the loose, and Kol calls in the entire team to hunt him down. But how are they to keep Elijah safe when he can’t be around people? And how will Kol stay sane if he can’t touch his mate?

Mind Scrambler

A shiver went through him—Jaecar was like a lion on the savanna. He was planning on going back to wait for the other man, his prey, and yet he was concerned about Eli waiting in a car.


“Being by myself is what I do best, and I can’t wait for this to be over so I can go back to being alone.”


Hurt swamped his awareness, and Eli stared at Jaecar. What was going on? Jaecar’s face was blank, but the hurt…It continued to flood Eli’s chest and mind.


Looking away from Jaecar, he spotted the driver coming around the corner. “There he is.” For a second, their eyes met, then the man turn and ran.


“Who?” Jaecar followed his gaze, the hurt replaced by anger.


“The second man, he’s the one turning the corner…there.” The man was out of their sight


“Get in the car.” Jaecar tossed him his keys and took off running. Eli gaped. He’d never seen anyone run as fast as Jaecar did, not even Varg when he spotted Eli trying to escape from him.
