Running for Freedom by Noah Harris

Cyrus: I’m a big city private detective, so I thought I’d seen it all. When one of the city’s three crime families hires me for a missing person job, I should have realized there was more to it. Stupid me. I found Zeke, and then I found out why they wanted him. I was surprised how quickly Zeke got into my head and make me open up but he’s a fox shifter so, of course, he drives me crazy…and I want him more than anyone else I’ve ever met.

Zeke: Being a child of a powerful crime family has its perks. Then again, there’s a lot of crap too. I’m done with it. I thought I had a way out, but now I’m running for my life….from my sister, with a private detective along for the ride. Cyrus is something else, and not just because he refuses to admit he’s a wolf shifter. He’s grumpy and a bit of a jerk, but he saved my ass, and the more time I spend with him, the more I want to see him smile…and the more I just want him.

Running for their lives, the two shifters must rely on each other to survive. Both are harboring deep secrets from their past that threaten their growing attraction and their future. What twists and turns await them as they try to stay one step ahead of death?

This is a heartwarming romance with a HEA. It does contain brief flashbacks of child abuse and graphic M/M scenes.
