Death of the Moon (Secrets of the Moon, #1) / Secrets of the Moon (ePub)

A werewolf with secrets.

Alec Channing has lived a long life, and he's just going through the motions, lost in his troubled past, until fellow werewolves and shifters start dying around him. An increase in werewolf attacks only adds to Alec's problems. As his past closes in, his only hope lies in one man-an unaware human whose vanilla and spice scent and easygoing attitude draw Alec in. However, Alec can't help but worry about what will happen when that man uncovers the truth about Alec's preternatural world.

A homicide detective who is out of his depth.

Detective Damien O'Connor joined the Columbus Police Department to bring closure to victims and their families-closure that he never got for himself. But when none of the evidence adds up for what should be a routine death investigation, he's floundering. As the bodies continue to pile up, the sweet man who has caught Damien's eye is at the center of the storm. When closely guarded secrets start to emerge, can Damien reconcile himself to an entirely new reality-and solve the case that might also save the man he's come to care for?
