Link Rawlins may be a big man, but even though he shares his spirit with a massive musk ox, he's not a dominant shifter. He's happy in his role of helping behind the scenes, using his computers to research, hack, and compile information for others.

When Link gets a call from a fellow shifter about some family trouble, he can't say no. After all, he's already in the area. Upon arriving at Amelia's apartment, Link finds her next-door neighbor, Ezra Pendle, already rendering aid. Realizing the human's his mate, the other half of his soul, Link steps in to back up Ezra's order for Amelia's antagonistic father, Gary, to leave, and Link manages to score a date. Unfortunately, Link's shy, soft-spoken nature leaves him tongue-tied, and the date doesn't go well. Ezra is active and outgoing, and they just don't seem to have much in common.

Can Link find a way to convince Ezra they're meant to be together, or will danger created by Link's work end with dire consequences for them both?
