Thunderball — Mimi Riser

Sylver Starr is a werewolf by birth, a cross-dresser by desire, and a secret agent for Earth Guardians, Inc. -- although that last is beginning to wear a bit thin. Take tonight, for instance. Posing as participants, Sylver and his partner infiltrate the brutal blood-sport of dog fighting. Their mission is to rescue a kidnapping victim. Unfortunately, the victim is a giant mastiff who shows no sign of cooperating. Abused by his captors and trained to kill, he seems more interested in ripping Sylver to shreds. Understandable, but painful nonetheless. To Sylver, who knows the dog's history, the situation is infuriating and heartbreaking.

And Sylver's partner adds to the stress by being...well, himself. Sexy and aggravating in the same breath. He's the great Hunter Steele -- founder and chief of Earth Guardians, Inc. -- a billionaire cat-shifter with a serious James Bond complex. Hunter cooks up these plots, and Sylver gets stuck with the dirty dishes. Always. For a werewolf, it's not easy taking orders from a cat. Put it all together and Sylver's had a bellyful. After this mission, there won't be another. It'll be bye-bye EG.

And hello Hunter's rage, because no one quits his team -- especially not Sylver. They're not just work partners. In shifter terminology, the canine-feline pair are each other's divinely appointed life-mates. Go figure. If this is a match made in heaven, someone up there has a lot of explaining to do. It's difficult enough being married to your polar opposite, but when your spouse is also your boss, nerves will be rubbed raw -- along with fevered flesh, because neither man is above using seduction to get his way. And both have their own brand of sizzle. In fact, if the two live long enough for this battle of wills to reach the bedroom, it's anyone's guess who will emerge on top. Then again, maybe it doesn't matter. This is one sport, after all, where the winner may take all, but the “loser” still gets a big prize...
