Overview

Out of the Cage: When a law officer moves to a small town for a new start, the last thing he expects is coming face to face with the mystical. If Goliath Dickman hadn't had the most loving and supportive parents he could ever imagine-and he's seen plenty of depravity during his years on the force-he would have thought his parents hated him. After all, how could they have named him what they did? Goliath would never tarnish the memory of his beloved mother by saying such a thing out loud, however. So when the opportunity arises, he transfers to a deputy position in a small town. After losing his temper on the first day-thank goodness they'd been understanding guys-Goliath asks the others to call him Ollie, and he settles in at his new place in his new town. He runs across Earl Raukus at a local restaurant and finds himself enamored with the pretty, brown-eyed blond. Unfortunately, Goliath spots Earl laughing and chatting with a black-haired guy across the room, and his hopes are dashed. Imagine Goliath's confusion when Earl continues flirting with him. Uncertain, he switches to his default-he clams up, responding curtly. Confused by the hurt that fills Earl's eyes, Goliath tracks him down... and discovers something the town can't possibly want getting out. Could the world of shifters truly be real, and what would be his place within it?
