Wings Of Love — Deirdre O'Dare

Special Border Patrol agent Alex, who can shapeshift into a raven, is used to working alone. He honors his Scots ancestry and has never met another shifter except for kinfolk back in Scotland. When he's required to accept a partner, he normally manages to get rid of them by being so distant, aloof, and downright weird that they cannot deal with him. But the latest man assigned to work with Alex, a Native American named Manuel Ortiz, poses a whole new range of challenges.

Manuel, a member of the Tohono O'Odham tribe, works for the Border Patrol to support his ailing elderly parents. He has a secret he's never dared to share -- he can shapeshift into a red-tailed hawk. When his superiors team him with cold, cynical Alex, he's not sure why until he learns his new partner has a similar curse -- or gift.

Together, the men begin to form an uneasy bond. Confronting an evil and completely alien drug cartel boss, they have to cooperate to survive. In doing so, Alex and Manuel slowly learn the synergy of partnership and even discover that flying together can open a whole new world for them, that riding on the wings of love can be magical indeed...
