The Lost Otter

On a tiny island off the coast of Washington, Brody has made a successful life for himself as a veterinarian. The highlight of his practice is when he's able to help wild animals and rehab them to be released back to the wild. It's a simple, quiet life, which is exactly what he needs to be able to piece himself back together after Aedan, the man he loves, disappeared six years earlier. He had given up hope of ever seeing Aedan alive again, until one night after an otter shows up on his doorstep, Aedan comes in to take the otter away. Even if Brody didn't want to smack the sexy grin off his face, he still wouldn't let Aedan just walk out with the otter. He's responsible for its safety, and Aedan hasn't given him nearly enough answers to make the past six years all better.

Aedan doesn't have time to answer Brody's questions though. He's got bigger problems, primarily a clan of bear shifters who claim the otter, Aedan's little brother, stole something from them. He lives in a dangerous world he never wanted Brody to be mixed up in, but it seems Brody can't help but get into trouble all on his own. His brother invites danger, Brody stumbles into it, and Aedan just wants to keep them both safe without losing his mind.
