A mate who's a possible thief isn't quite what cop and coyote shifter Cheveyo Parker envisioned for himself. However, one glance at Nathanial – decked out in blue jeans, an open-necked shirt, and handcuffs – and Chev is unable to deny the primal connection he feels between them.

Claiming shifter's rights to be able to protect Nathanial, Chev teams up with a shifter detective to uncover the truth. But when he starts to investigate what appears to be the theft of a South American Shaman's mask, he finds something much darker and far more deadly going on.

And when Nathanial goes missing, Chev will need all his coyote instincts to find his mate in time!
