About this ebook
No one can hold a candle to Blaze. He's the only pyromancer in Havoc's Crew, and everyone knows Havoc’s Crew is the best magic outfit in Lyon city. When an accident leaves Blaze disfigured, all he wants to do is disappear. When a wave of zombies threaten the city it's up to him and bear-shifter Levi Black to clean the mess up, but the shifter seems more interested in him than the mission.
Blaze isn't the kind of man Levi would normally take on any of his runs, but he doesn't have a choice. The conceited pyromancer is supposedly the best, but the last thing he expects is a broken shell of man able to bring his protective animalistic instincts to the surface. Getting rid of the undead is the easy bit. The hard part is convincing Blaze he loves him even with his scars.

Chapter One
Figures on the dance floor whirled in front in their finery. Elegant gold and silver hues clashed with the bright and daring colors of emerald and crimson, making Levi Black’s head spin.
The room’s elaborate, circular architecture made it worse. Schneider Tower wasn’t the most impressive or tallest building in Lyon City, but it certainly boasted one of the best ballrooms.
Elegant spirals were the common motif in the Purple Room, the tower’s highest point. They were everywhere, from the swirling marbled floor to the golden walls and the impressive stained glass on the mosaic-domed ceiling.
Levi could stare dumbly at the ceiling above him for minutes on end, unaware of the comings and goings around him.
The honey champagne served on stalks of elegant glasses didn’t help his throbbing head either. Was that his fourth or fifth glass? Bear shifters—or for that matter, shifters of any kind—didn’t get drunk easily, but they still got drunk.
Whoever decided to serve champagne laced with expensive grade A honey at a party guarded by bear shifters was either stupid or doing it intentionally.
All Levi could do was rely on his ferocious girth and appearance to continue guarding the door he was being paid to guard. Towering over six feet and built like a brick, Levi wasn’t a small guy by any means, so his size was enough to make even the drunkest asshole wise up.
Well, most, anyway. The very drunk man tottering toward him was an exception. Normally Levi was within his rights to toss the drunk out, but he hesitated. Levi’s metaphysical bear reared up on its hide legs, making his human half sniff the air.
The drunk wasn’t an exceptionally large man, but he was built well enough under his monkey suit and was handsome enough to have any women in the room.
It was the ink that made Levi pause. Fine lines of ink coiled beneath the man’s disheveled copper-red hair, eyebrow, behind one ear, and wrapped round his neck like a scarf.
Wizard,
Levi snarled.
More ink on his arms. The fierce lines forming flames there finally told Levi what kind of magical idiot he was dealing with. He breathed through his nostrils.
The asshole’s a bloody pyromancer. How wonderful.
The last thing Levi wanted was to roughen up someone who could manipulate flames just as easy as he could trade his human skin for his bear.
His skin prickled the closer the man came. None of his bestial instincts were ringing alarm bells in his head, though. They ran another sort of tune, one that made him feel hotter than he already was in his rented evening wear.
Levi sniffed the air eagerly, easily parting the tantalizing scent coming from the impressive buffet table and the sweet scent of the attractive pyromancer.
Shit. This isn’t good. How am I supposed to guard this damn door when I’m distracted by this pyromancer?
You there. No one is allowed through this door,
Levi growled.
Don’t you know who I am, bear?
the young man slurred, eying with contempt the silver pin of a bear’s claw pinned to Levi’s jacket. He tried shouldering past Levi’s large frame, but Levi only gave him a gentle shove back. The pyromancer grunted and glared up at him. I’m Blaze, from Havoc’s Crew, and the best pyromancer in the city, so let me through, you big furry bastard.
Heard of Havoc’s. It’s supposedly the place you go to if you want to destroy something huge. I haven’t heard anything about anyone named Blaze. Besides, what kind of name is that?
Levi asked in skeptical tone. Let me guess, you chose it for yourself?
Insulting a drunken pyromancer was one of the more foolish things Levi could’ve done. The very air seemed to thin, making it a little hotter than usual. Balls of flames danced above Blaze’s palms like a great party trick. When they grew to the size of watermelons, Levi realized Blaze was the real deal.
Levi ducked his head at the very last second. The flames hurtled past him and hit the door he was being paid a thousand dollars an hour to guard.
Yelping, Levi threw himself away from the spreading flames. Anger prickled across his skin, and a roar of challenge emerged from his throat. He and his bear had shaken off whatever dulling effects the honey champagne had caused.
Fucking pyromancer,
Levi growled. I’m not going to warn you again.
Hesitation flickered across Blaze’s handsome face. Levi was beginning to enjoy the taste of the other man’s fear when he, too, heard the savage series of shrieks from the room he was guarding.
Fire! The buildings on fire!
The rest of the room was in an uproar. People shouted and elbowed each other to leave the Purple Room, but he couldn’t care less about them.
What the hell have you been guarding?
Blaze demanded, sounding
