FROM AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF LGBTQIA ROMANCE L.M. SOMERTON

Book two in The Augur series

Some truths were never meant to be spoken.

Augur Bryn Ashton’s touch reveals truth and in a world where genetic mutations grant enhanced abilities that makes him both indispensable and a target.

After a rare day off is cut short, Bryn and his lupine detective partner Gunnar Ericson are assigned to investigate Thanacrine, a synthetic drug that boosts gene-enhanced abilities but causes violent psychosis and death. The trail leads to mob boss Salvatore Russo and a biotech company with a suspicious agenda. To infiltrate their network, Bryn must team up with the enigmatic sanguine Giles Delacourt, his nemesis and former trainer, to pose as investors at a fundraising business event.

As the operation unfolds, the team uncovers illegal experimentation and possible federal involvement. A raid on a lab ends in tragedy, and a mission in Philadelphia nearly costs Bryn his life. With the body count rising, the emotional toll deepens, and so does the bond between Bryn and Gunnar.

The final showdown at a high-profile memorial turns Boston’s Cathedral of the Holy Cross into a blood-stained battleground. With tension mounting and a serial killer resurfacing, Bryn must rely on Gunnar and confront the cost of chasing truth when enemies are everywhere and nothing is as it seems.

Pulse pounding and tense, this second installment in The Augur series raises the stakes and leaves Bryn treading a delicate line between survival and the vulnerability that comes with opening his heart to love.
