Rhapsody
Werewolves are real. Big deal. If NYPD detective Maverick Carson is being honest, he's always been more of a cat person. As part of a new expansion project, however, the 11th precinct is getting its first lycanthrope officer - an intimidating presence by the name of Emery Faustine. And, by some cruel twist of fate, Maverick is assigned to be his partner. The two hotshots are fire and ice. Night and day. Sworn enemies from the moment they meet, until a serial killer begins to ravage the streets of New York City, and Maverick and Emery must force their rivalry aside to stop the gruesome killings at whatever cost. Meanwhile, Maverick wonders if there's something more to Emery than just the creature he becomes every full moon. As he contemplates his partner's humanity, he wonders, too, if there could be something more to their partnership. With the case coming to a head between them, hidden secrets - and feelings - threaten to be revealed. Maverick must decide: is Emery human, or just a wolf parading as one? And, more importantly, can he learn to trust the werewolf, even if it means risking his own life? Highest Rankings: #1 in LGBT #1 in Magical Realism #1 in Mystery/Romance #1 in New Author
