    About this ebook

    What happens when a closeted animal activist and were-shifter hires a "problem fixer" to save his friends from being wrongly convicted of murder?

    Ryan Hunter soon finds out when he slinks off to meet a mysterious stranger named Ian West, another were-shifter who possesses not only a dangerous reputation, but also the prestige for successfully performing unusual tasks, regardless of any legal restrictions he might face.

    But to Ryan's pleasant surprise, he finds Ian not quite as menacing as he was led to believe, and also extremely attractive. Sparks immediately fly between them, and Ryan can only hope that once the urgent mission to save his friends is complete, he and Ian might be able to get to know one another better, despite their enormous differences. Not only is Ryan hiding his true sexual orientation from those who know him best, but he has the ability to shift into a raven, whereas Ian, openly gay, has the unique ability to shift into a ferret. Can the men cope with the hurdles awaiting them in their secret undertaking, as well as those they must face in their personal lives?

      Ferreting Out the Truth

      By L.J. Hamlin

      Ryan doesn’t like the look of the bar to which he’s been directed. It isn’t his usual place or a bar he’s passed by in his time living in L.A. The bar is in the warehouse district, and he’s gotten a taxi as close as he could, then walks the rest of the way, clutching his apartment keys in his pocket in case this is a set up.

      Ryan guesses that, when asked where you can meet a kind of criminal, you’re not going to be told to meet him in a well-lit Starbucks. The bar looks kind of grubby, but Ryan takes a breath and goes to the entrance. There isn’t a line outside or anyone guarding the door, so Ryan walks inside. It’s nowhere near as bad as he had imagined, no blood on the walls or dust on the floor.

      There’s a stage where someone’s playing guitar, people at the bar, and tables around the room. Only a few people look up when Ryan enters, and none of them appear threatening. Ryan should have known better than to judge a bar by its location and exterior. Many things are not what they seem. He, himself, is not what he seems.

      He’s ordinary enough, tall, thin, messy black hair, and blue eyes. He’s good-looking, or so he’s been told, but far from a male model in face or physical appearance. He looks human, but he’s a shifter. His second form is a raven, but only other shifters would be able to tell he’s not human.

      Ryan glances around the bar. He can sense other weres, but he’s not sure where the one he’s looking for is located, so he makes his way to the bar.

      What can I get you? the barman asks. He’s tall, dark-skinned, with a hint of an African accent, although Ryan isn’t familiar enough to narrow it down more.

      I’d like a beer, please, and maybe some information? Ryan
