About this book
Pember McArthur is a lone omega struggling to navigate a hostile world after his family life implodes. With no pack to call his own and a city still reeling from a dark trafficking scandal, he finds an unlikely refuge working as a crime scene investigator. But his new career path is anything but quiet. When a string of high-profile alphas begins turning up dead, Pember is forced into an uneasy partnership with Detective Sergeant Blake Smith, a man whose surly demeanor is as sharp as his investigative instincts.
This gripping urban fantasy blends high-stakes mystery with the intense, simmering tension of a classic paranormal romance. As Pember and Blake peel back the layers of a conspiracy that threatens their entire community, they must rely on one another to survive the mounting body count. Their forced proximity sparks a volatile connection that challenges everything they know about pack dynamics and trust, proving that even in a world of predators, the most dangerous thing might just be the truth.
Perfect for fans of gritty shifter stories, this installment expands on a rich, immersive world while delivering a compelling found-family dynamic. If you crave a page-turner that balances steamy chemistry with a chilling, complex investigation, this is your next obsession.

I am so happy I found this author! I devoured book 1 and have now devoured book 2 which is just a well written as book one!

The romance was in some ways similar but in others very different to the romance in book 1 and the mystery was well done and engaging. I love the growth we got to witness from Pember and Blake as individuals and then as a couple. I cannot wait for book 3...

I enjoyed the story, seeing the MCs overcome and connect. Val was my favorite character. I want to know more about what happens with Ru. I do feel like this person deserves a HEA, despite what they got wrapped up in. )
