A Tempting Distraction — Stephani Hecht

Hawk shifter Garrett has never been one to deny himself what he wants. So when he sees the newest addition to the feline coalition, a cute Tiger shifter named Owen, Garrett doesn't hesitate to make sure they end up in bed. Garrett only plans on keeping the encounter a one-time experience. Commitments aren't something he does and just because Owen is hot, great in the sack and charming isn't going to change things. Despite his resolve, Garrett finds that one taste of Owen is not enough. Which just confuses the hell out of Garrett since they couldn't be more different. Where Garrett is all business and serious, Owen is a hacker who dyes his hair in wild colors and dresses like a punk. Most importantly, Garrett is a Hawk while Owen a Tiger and the two rarely mate.

Owen, who has just been reunited with his coalition, has never known any kind of loving relationship. Raised by a cruel foster father, the only thing Owen ever learned was how to be a thief and a hacker. So when he finds himself thrust into a coalition and stuck with an overprotective older brother, Owen can't help but feel lost. The only bright spot in his life is Garrett. While Owen realizes that Garrett plans on keeping their encounter a one-time event, a part of him hopes that the Hawk will eventually want more.

Then Owen makes a stupid mistake that puts not only himself, but the rest of the coalition in danger. As Garrett realizes that he may lose Owen, he knows that nothing will stop him from saving the Tiger, even if he has to sacrifice himself in order to do so.
