** Not a standalone. Please read Book 1 first. **This is a spin-off of Fire Ridge Pride and Blood-rights. You must read them first. Constantyn MacLaden and his brother, Naven, never agreed on anything. According to Naven, Syn got the house, the magic, and the girl. Syn got the magic; that was true. The house concealed a basement with snarky artifacts that talked back. And the girl? Well. She was so in love with Naven, the only thing keeping them apart was Naven. Syn's only entertainment, of late, was his brother's obsession with the magic. Naven couldn't wield it, and it would kill him if he tried, but the man was determined. Syn set up a security camera in the basement just to be sure his brother didn't try to enter, and one day, he discovered someone else—a gorgeous, black-haired, indigo-eyed Demi-deuil. One who spoke feline French in a sexy purr and liked to give him a show before the magic snatched him away. The gods had found a replacement for The Thief- the one born to return the artifacts to their places in the basement- and Syn wanted to do a little stealing for himself if he could ever get the man alone. There's only one problem. Syn isn't the only one who wants a piece of the Thief. MMM, Dark, Urban, Paranormal Fantasy Romance
