One soars like an eagle. One strikes like a thunderbird. But for both hearts, revenge can be deadly when it's nourished.
Anomaly Defense Director and shapeshifter Bert Blackfeather doesn't need a boss with no experience. So what if she's beautiful or gives him a jolt when she shakes his hand? He never plans to get seriously involved with another woman—not in this lifetime.
Phoebe Wagner, an empath with psychometric abilities and an advocate for the deaf, gets more than she bargained for with Bert. One touch and she relives his IED injuries. So what if he's handsome and hot? She doesn't need to add his secrets to her own. Phoebe's are bad enough.
When his niece goes missing from Hotel LaBelle, Bert goes to Montana to help—and Phoebe insists on going with him. Can these two hard-headed people share their darkest secrets in order to work together? It may be the only way to save an endangered child—and their own hearts when Bert's past rears its ugly head.

Excerpt
“I insist on going with you.” If Phoebe could help rescue this child, would that balance the scale of justice? No. It wouldn’t bring Angela back, but maybe doing something, knowing she hadn’t simply sat on the sidelines when there was something she could do, would give her some kind of solace. She had never expected to be thrust into a situation where she could help another endangered child—not here in this management role. This was an opportunity to redeem herself, if not in the world’s eyes, then in her own.
“Thanks, but no thanks.” Bert’s jaw twitched. “I’m sure you’re needed here.”
She shook her head. This was not going well. Summoning up her legal prowess, she decided to pursue the argument from a different angle.
National security.
“You just told me the lives of your agents depend on your discretion. You’re the only person who knows every single agent in the division. Would you agree your information would be highly attractive to a malicious foreign power?”
He rubbed his chin and nodded. “Yes, I would agree with that assessment.”
“Would you agree your family is the most important thing in your life?”
He shifted in his streamlined wheelchair and looked everywhere but at her. Heart thudding in her throat, she waited what seemed an eternity for his response.
His gaze finally returned to hers. He nodded. “Family first.”
“So, how do you know for a fact this event has nothing to do with the extremely important secrets you carry in your brain?” He shrugged and looked away. Rude and obstinate. Phoebe wasn’t taking no for an answer. She tapped his hand, forcing him to look at her—and triggered a feathery feeling again. “You may be the real target. Someone could have kidnapped the child to lure you into a trap.”
He stroked his chin. “I hadn’t considered that possibility.”
A thrill ran up her spine, and she ducked her head to hide a quick smile of victory behind a curtain of hair.
“I see from your bio you can ride,” he said. She nodded, wondering where this was going.
“If you come with me, you’ll be put on a horse and sent out to search along with every other volunteer in the community. Out there, I’m the boss. If you can’t follow instructions, you’ll be useless.”
A frisson of excitement pierced her backbone. Phoebe’s heart skipped a beat, and her breath came just a tad too fast. This was it. She was going. Thank God it was Friday. She couldn’t wait to get home and pack. “I will do whatever I can to help. I swear. I can—” Stopping herself before revealing more, she glanced at Jean. The sign-language interpreter might hold a top-secret security clearance, but this was not the time for Phoebe to reveal her gifts. “—be ready in an hour.”
He’s not the only one with secrets. I have a few of my own.
