Second Time Charm

Second Time Charm

by Hollis Shiloh

a shifters and partners novel

 I've wanted to work with a wolf partner for as long as I can remember.  This is my third — and final — chance of being chosen by one.

You know what they say.  Be careful what you wish for. 

I had no idea wolves could be as broken as my new partner is.  He has an intense phobia of dogs, his attitude reeks, he barely knows how to take care of himself, and doesn't care about much of anything — except having lots of sex.  

That's the best thing about our partnership, the sex.  But sometimes I wonder if it's worth it.  I don't know how to fix this.  He's difficult, annoying, handsome as hell...and I don't want to give him up.

My dream come true is starting to feel like a nightmare.  But the one he's living turns out to be far worse.

Here's what it's about:

Chemistry off the charts—but is that enough?

Tom Langley and Sean Goods work together in a human-and-wolf shifter partnership, assisting the police, rushing in to solve crimes wherever their bosses send them. They're a great team, and they have fun together, too: joking and enjoying each other's company in a way that doesn't happen every day. 

Tom is also a married man. And his husband hates the wolf shifter with a passion. Tom tries to balance the sides of his life—one minute on a high-pressure chase with Sean, the next placating his husband Lowell. 

Then the unthinkable happens: his marriage ends. Heartbroken, he's not expecting to ever get over Lowell's betrayal or to be able to love again. 

Sean offers a solution: sex as friends. They have chemistry, and they trust each other. 

But can they change their partnership that much? And is Sean secretly harboring feelings for him—expecting more than just sex? 

Sean is a loveable, funny, strong, and protective. He's the best buddy a guy could have. But Tom might not be able to keep from breaking his heart—if Sean is in love with him, and Tom can't love him back.

Excerpt: 

I walked up to him and dug my hand into the ruff of his neck, grounding him. He'd started to shake from the tension. The whole case, the little girl's life, it all rested on his shoulders right now, and there was no escaping that in any form. 

"C'mon, bud. You'll be all right. Want a drink?" 

He hesitated. 

I nudged him with my knee. "While the air clears." I started to reach into the backpack for a bottle of water. I always brought some with us, especially in the heat. He could get dehydrated if he wasn't careful. 

He shook his head, pushing past me, moving on, at first without any assurance, and then more confidently. He was moving off the road now, casting around in the grass on the verge and the bushes. I couldn't see any tire marks. 

All of a sudden he gave off an arf that told me to hurry up, and off he dashed into the undergrowth. 

What the hell? Well, I wasn't going to doubt him. 

I looked back at the men. "We're close. Radio for backup. And remember we're probably dealing with a hostage situation." 

We could all hope the girl was alive, anyway. He'd damned well better hope she was. Whoever he was. 

I saw one of them lifting the radio to call in more people. Then I charged into the undergrowth after Sean.
