A past that could put all their lives at risk. Jake will do anything to protect Remi and help him break the cycle of abuse he has endured all his life, but his investigation is about to uncover something far more sinister and deadly than they ever imagined. He’s torn between the desire to tell Remi they are destined to be mates, and the need to first let Remi get used to the werewolf life. From the first moment he turned Remi into a werewolf in order to save his life, Jake has been fighting to keep his inner demons at bay.

Jake Romero, a crack private investigator with a bad-boy biker image, realizes he has his work cut out for him when Remi asks for his help. A past so dark it haunts him only in dreams. To do it, he must face a past he hides behind his cocky, trouble-making attitude. When his little brother turns up covered in bruises, he is driven to finally bring their abusive father to justice. Remington Lassiter is trying his best to stay out of trouble while he learns the ropes of being a werewolf. No lightning bugs were harmed in the making of this book.

Warning: Contains color abuse with a really bad sense of fashion, a southern accent from hell, sex on antique furniture, a pouncing playful werewolf, obnoxious siblings, liberal use of a color identifier and impatient sex. Until a rogue werewolf with an axe to grind forces Aubrey to add to the wedge of secrets driving him and Matt apart, leaving Matt exposed to danger…and Aubrey forced to choose between love and duty. Can he? In time, they settle into a comfortable, if complicated, routine. Realizing Aubrey is his mate should have been a delightful experience…except Aubrey treats him more like a dirty little secret than a lover. Much as he loved caring for his eight younger brothers, Matt Mahihkan knows it’s time to grab the opportunity to attend college in Atlanta. Revealing his sexuality was never part of Aubrey’s well-ordered life plan. His very male mate…which is a very big deal, indeed. Agreeing to watch after a visiting werewolf is no big deal-until he discovers the newcomer is his mate. As heir to an old and proud heritage, Aubrey Reynolds works and lives for his family, his employees and his pack.

Love was never part of his plan…until it pounced.
