Deacon Markson is all business…until he sees a bear turn into a man and starts to question his own sanity. Still, work is his refuge—along with the occasional one-night stand. Except his last hook up, left him strangely dissatisfied. They clicked but something wasn’t right. Too bad he can’t get the big guy out of his thoughts. Now his best friend is mixed up with those crazy shifter guys and his one-night stand might be more than he thought. Phineas Keene does his shifting in the middle of nowhere—or so he thought. When he discovers Deacon saw him change from bear to man, he nearly panics. Instead, the two men share a night of sex that leaves him wanting more. But even if Deacon didn’t recognize him, getting close is too risky. Too bad Phineas can’t stay away from the sexy man who threatens their very existence.
