Sean McMillan has always lived a life more human than
shifter. Upon joining Alpha Squad he is thrust into a whole
new world which is taking some getting used to. When two
shifters turn up dead under suspicious circumstances in the
otherwise quiet town of Inverness, Scotland, Alpha Squad is
sent in to uncover the truth. So far, so easy; murder
investigations are what Sean does best. Trouble is, one of
the witnesses is able to distract him just with her presence.
And he can’t shake the feeling that she knows more than
what she’s letting on.
Lab assistant Erin Reid thought her work at the research
project led by leading Geneticist Professor Blake was benign
enough, if excruciatingly boring. Little did she know that they
were all embroiled in a deadly conspiracy. When she finds
out what she’s been involved in, the resulting guilt weighs
heavy on her and she vows to make things right.
What starts off as an ordinary murder investigation quickly
turns into something bigger and more dangerous than
anyone on Alpha Squad could foresee. Is shifter enemy No.
1 Victor Domnall back with a plan more devious than ever?
Can Sean and the squad put all the pieces of the puzzle
together before it’s too late?
Oh how I love this series by Lorelei Moone. I got hooked on
book one and cannot wait for the next. They are all so
well-written and though through the whole series is a
wonderful read.
This is Sean’s story and how he met his mate Erin. Sean is
sent to investigate two shifter deaths. That is when he meets
her. And she is amazing, she is a lab tech and has found out
there is a problem in her lab. So they team up to discover
what is going on. One night she see someone she
should not and then all kinds of stuff happens. And she is
trouble, let’s hope that Sean can help himself and her in time.
Now before I ruin this for you I will leave off here. I hope you
enjoy this book as much as I did. If you do like this book,
please consider leaving a review. The Authors really like it
when you do; they value your opinions too
The shifters he'd come into contact with
since Alpha Squad hadn’t fully accepted him either.
Erin was different though. The way she'd
looked at him had made him uneasy at first. But now he recognized it as
admiration.
Perhaps even love.
No, that
would be ridiculous.
What is? her voice asked.
Sean closed his eyes and tried to fight the
emotions that threatened to overwhelm.
It was no use.
Her scent tempted him.
Her mere presence had made him agree to
things he would have never considered otherwise.
Why can I
feel you so keenly now? When earlier I couldn't, he thought.
I don't
know, but I'm glad for this.
Sean looked down at her again. Her face was
still wet.
A soft drizzle started, depositing gleaming
little droplets in her bright red hair.
She was a vision. A Scottish beauty that
could inspire legends.
With hands that had grown a mind of their
own, he reached for her. Cupping her face, leaning down to meet her lips with
his.
She didn't resist, but rather seemed to melt
against him.
How could a touch feel so powerful? His
fingertips on her moist cheeks.
His kiss merging into hers.
Their minds had become one already. Those
deepest, darkest parts of himself which he'd fought an entire lifetime to keep
hidden wanted more.
This is
inappropriate. You're a suspect.
I'm your
partner.
Sean inhaled sharply, letting her perfume
fill his lungs. Sweet, like a summer meadow.
Yes. Yes,
you are.
Every fiber in his body agreed. They were one
in thought. It was only a matter of time before they'd become one in flesh.
With all the self-control he could manage, he
pulled away from her. This wasn't the place, nor the time.
It wasn't the kind of man he was either.
She stood frozen in place for a moment, her
eyes still closed, her beautiful face a mask of calm.
"Let's get out of here before anyone
takes notice," Sean suggested. "I still owe you lunch."
Erin shook her head. "After everything,
I'm not hungry anymore."
Sean nodded. She needed to process what had
just happened. That was understandable.
I'm
sorry.
We'll get
to the bottom of this, I promise, he tried to
reassure her.
They said their goodbyes, awkwardly.
See you
later.
I can't
wait.
As Sean watched her walk away, he tried to
regain control. He'd given her too much. He'd accepted her help and they would
investigate the lab together.
But there'd be no more of this. Sean licked
his lips, briefly. He could still taste her.
This was unacceptable. No matter how beautiful
she was, or how strongly he felt about her. He couldn't let it happen again,
not until the case was over.
