Act of Mercy by Mandy M. Roth

4.0

Duke Marlow hates EVERYTHING ... seriously. Especially flying, which we learned in Eaden's book. He's working late on reports, since his computer is not working correctly ... he HATES technology :)

He receives a strange call from a woman, speaking in codes ... and thinking she's a wack-job, the phone calls deteriorate rapidly. Turns out, she's his next mission. PSI-Ops isn't sure if she's a good guy or bad, and she works for one of the Corporation's companies.

Mercy is a bio-engineer, and after meeting James (Inara's mentor/former PSI-Ops) ... she realizes something huge and horrible is going on with her company. Duke accidently runs into her in the hallway of her apartment, and the team has to scramble to keep their cover. Even though she saw them lift a car outside of the coffee shop :)

The quickly realize she is trying to save James, and together ... they bust into the joint to rescue him. Downside ... Mercy has to go with them to get the doors open, as she designed the system. Turns out, she's a pretty powerful Fae-type creature, and manages to hold her own.

I adore this team. Stryker may be my very favorite of this entire series so far. He's a Scottish wolf shifter, as well as Duke. Boomer - goth panther shifter, Captain Corbin Jones - lion shifter, and Malik "Tut" - lion shifter (currently on mandatory leave).
