An ex-FBI agent is partnered with the enemy in this suspenseful first installment of Charlie Adhara’s Big Bad Wolf series Hunting for big bad wolves was never part of agent Cooper Dayton’s plan, but a werewolf attack lands him in the carefully guarded Bureau of Special Investigations. A new case comes with a new partner: ruggedly sexy werewolf Oliver Park. Park is an agent of The Trust, a werewolf oversight organization working to ease escalating tensions with the BSI. But as far as Cooper’s concerned, it’s failing. As they investigate a series of mysterious deaths unlike anything they’ve seen, every bone in Cooper’s body is suspicious of his new partner—even when Park proves himself as competent as he is utterly captivating. When more people vanish, pressure to solve the case skyrockets. And though he’d resolved to keep things professional, Cooper’s friction with Park soon erupts...into a physical need that can’t be contained or controlled. But with a body count that’s rising by the day, werewolves and humans are in equal danger. If Cooper and Park don’t catch the killer soon, one—or both—of them could be the next to go.

Vingt mètres de profondeur. L’eau bleu sombre est peuplée de plancton. Face à moi, Lady Mystery, une énorme femelle requin blanc, soeur des « Dents de la mer » : 5,5 mètres, une tonne et demie. Puissance extrême que rien ne peut arrêter. Scientifique, je ne me laisse pas distraire : je consigne profondeur, heure, sexe et taille. Et soudain, à quelques mètres de l’oeil qui me fixe, je réalise le dérisoire de ces informations, si réductrices qu’elles trahissent la créature indomptée que je cherche à connaître. Comment raconter cette élégance sauvage ? Comment traduire ce que ses sens, profondément différents des nôtres, lui disent de cette rencontre et de l’océan qui nous entoure ? Je me coule contre son flanc. Nous nageons épaule contre nageoire. La distance qui nous sépare ne se mesure pas en centimètre, elle se mesure en confiance réciproque. Minute d’éternité. Nous ne faisons qu’un corps. Je suis en paix. Rencontre authentique, sans calcul, qui procure la joie profonde de communier avec la vie.
