Silence of the Moon (Secrets of the Moon, #2)

A werewolf in mourning.
Alec Channing has been through enough trauma to bring any ordinary person to their knees, but recent events might be the final straw that breaks him. Especially when he discovers he's lost not just the only constant in his life but something far greater. Meanwhile, a sinister plot is brewing that threatens not only him but the entire preternatural world. But he isn't alone. Can the man he may be ready to love help him pick up the pieces in time?
A homicide detective with more questions than answers.
Detective Damien O'Connor of the Columbus Police Department has seen things his colleagues could only imagine. He's directly responsible for the loss that sends his werewolf lover hurtling toward the breaking point. While the man he's come to love is suffering, a new case lands in his lap that leaves him questioning everything and losing more than he'd bargained for. But sometimes moving forward means stepping back and letting others shoulder the burden for a while. Can he and his team solve the case before he finds himself without a home to return to?
