Keeping the Peace: Walking into the interrogation room, a council enforcer realizes Fate has decided to throw him a curve ball.


Enforcer Delanrue Drudeson is a komodo dragon shifter who’s known as the intense brother, the unapproachable one, but he has his reasons. Keeping his brothers safe from a sadistic alpha while growing up meant he’d had to be a careful, manipulative adult…from a very early age. Specializing in interrogation for the last several decades, Delanrue is happy with his life. Then he walks into a secure room where he’s supposed to question the occupant by any means necessary—Midget Suvergy, a guinea pig shifter.

Except, one sniff tells Delanrue that Midget is his mate—the other half of his soul. Midget claims just to have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. While Midget’s words scent true, Delanrue doesn’t know if it’s just the mate-pull marring his abilities. Either way, Delanrue chooses to clear him.

Then word comes down that Midget is wanted for the murder of his own father. Delanrue isn’t stupid. It’s easy to see that Midget is no killer, no matter what anyone says. Can Delanrue trust his instincts enough to save Midget from the conspiracy dogging his steps?
