Description

"I've been alive a very long time...thugs with government connections don't scare me."

Hellhound Lamont had been through a long week providing much-needed protection for Giorgio and his new mate, Enda. He was willing to help, it's what packmates did for each other. But just prior to going to Tuscany, Lamont had been waylaid by another man in Egypt - an intriguing man who left him with a business card and a plea for Lamont to call him before being dragged off by two goons. Unable to get the man out of his head and not getting any responses to his texts or calls, when Lamont was finally free of his obligations, he went looking for the man behind the card. The only issue was that ten days had passed by that point, and the man was very definitely missing.

"He doesn't know... That's the only explanation that makes sense."

Ewen Cross, journalist and silver fox shifter, really wished he hadn't stopped to talk to Lamont just moments before he'd been abducted. Unfortunately, the pull to be with his mate was too strong, but that brief meeting became a curse when Lamont didn't come after him the way Ewen thought he would. Again, not an issue on its own, but Ewen's fox was feeling neglected, and suffering mate sickness while tied to a chair in a basement hadn't been on Ewen's bingo card that year.

He'd already been kidnapped, tortured, and nearly killed. What was a little divine wrath on top of that?

Lamont pulls some godly strings, and Ewen is finally in his arms, but their troubles don't stop there. Between corrupt officials, a story Ewen would die to protect (and damn near had), and a few interferences from Lord Hades and Consort Ali, finding time to celebrate their mating just wasn't happening. If they could just get the story published, then maybe there'd be time to visit the Greek Islands, Consort Ali is so fond of recommending.

This story is an MM Fated Mates Romance. It involves a hellhound and a silver fox shifter. While reading previous books in this series would help give you some background on the secondary characters (especially Magical Beast), this book is a standalone. There is a HEA, and no cliffhangers, although the epilogue is the prologue to the next book in the series.
