His latest case has led him to an art gallery in the small town of Wethersville, and his plan is simple: Attend the exhibition opening, pretend to like paintings, and solve the case before moving onto his next one. But running into his destined mate changes everything, especially since his mate might just be the most arrogant man Peter has ever met.
Swan shifter Henry Sinclair just wants one thing: for the exhibition opening he’s organised to run smoothly. Everything seems like it’s going according to plan until he meets his destined mate, and he isn’t sure what’s worse: that there’s a wanted criminal at the gallery, or that his true mate is a selfish jerk who doesn’t like art.
After a passionate quickie turns into a passionate argument, Peter and Henry decide to team up for now. The sooner they get rid of the thief, the sooner they can get out of each other’s lives.
But as the evening goes on and they learn to work together, they also learn about each other. Can they get a second chance to make a first impression, or has the situation become unbearable?
