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?

Even better. Thad and Sandy would get all stakeout gigs from now on. “We need to…” He didn’t know what they needed to do. “I feel like we have no control of this investigation.”


“It’s because we don’t. We don’t know where he is, what he is, what he’s up to. We don’t know if there’s anyone coming for Elijah or if those two were the only ones.”


“Can’t we get anything out of the man we took from the motel?”


Ric’s eyes flashed blue. “He hasn’t been talking, both Elora and Leo have tried.”


Kol allowed his cat to surface. He’d love nothing more than to go in there and force him to talk, but he didn’t want to leave Elijah. “You do it.”


“Go in there and get the bastard to talk. Anything we can learn will be more than we know now.”


Ric’s teeth sharpened as he grinned. “Will do, boss.”
