Synopsis (Goodreads):

Once a wartime hero, Keir was famous for a cyborg, his face plastered on military banners on every side of the galaxy.

But he wasn’t a hero, not really.

He was a hunter, Nightheart’s free agent for the most classified missions. No one knew Keir worked for the EPED. He was beholden to no one. Stalking the most dangerous monsters across the universe.

So, when he encounters a beautiful, intriguing woman in the alien wilds on his latest assignment, he’s immediately taken aback. She’s smart, capable, and completely unafraid of her surroundings, no matter how brutal. But she's scared of him.

She has a past, one she refuses to share, and it's connected to everything he's been searching for.

Luckily, there’s no one more determined than him… Now that he has his mate to capture.

Thoughts on Wings and Teeth: We're back with the cyborg shifters and they're... well, Nightheart is searching for answers. Which means he's sent Keir out to an almost-abandoned planet with a mostly defunct military installation to see what he could find. Keir finds a few answers (how they tie in to Nightheart's endgame is anyone's guess at this point), but he mostly finds his special someone. And that someone is guarded and protective and will do what needs to be done to keep the people remaining on her world safe.

Which means Echo and he are sort of working at cross purposes from the moment they first meet. He's looking for answers and she's trying to keep him from finding them. Except, not exactly. Echo has her secrets and she's been taught that those secrets will get her killed (or worse) if they get out. So she keeps them close and uses a bit of misdirection to give Keir what she thinks he's here for.

Seeing how these cyborgs are anything but predictable, he's not quite as satisfied with his half-answers as Echo hoped he'd be. And once the secrets start spilling out, THINGS HAPPEN.

These cyborgs are a little dangerous, a lot possessive, and downright relentless when it comes to the things that matter to them. GOOD STUFF!
