Diamond Flush — Laura Harner

For Alpha Jet Gorman, discovering the origins of his pack's newest members has provided more questions than answers. Like why would someone deliberately expose the existence of supernatural beings to the human world through in vitro fertilization? And more importantly…cui bono? Who benefits most from the Revelation? With the threat of betrayal a constant presence running through the Vieux Carré, at least Jet can count on Nico to have his back.

Ancient vampire Nico Sanzio da Urbino has been given an order to kill a werewolf -- not unusual given his job as an enforcer. The problem lies in the fact the targeted Alpha is often in Nico's bed -- or vice versa -- and may just be that elusive soul mate he has never quite believed in. Not to mention Jet's blood fairly sings through Nico's veins. Caught somewhere between the Paranormal Odd Squad, the all powerful Vampire Council, and a promise to his oldest friend, Nico must make a choice before someone realizes he hasn't carried out his orders -- and takes the matter out of his hands.

With the New Orleans preternatural population continuing to increase at an unnatural rate, the local Alpha and the Odd Squad's chief enforcer should have their attention focused on maintaining the human-to-super status quo, but with things between them at an incendiary high, their mutual distraction could prove deadly -- for everyone.
