An ancient relic threatens to destroy the world, and a tattooed man with no memory begins an adventure cloaked in mystery. Alex Sheridan has powers. He never questions why he can manipulate locks, phase out of sight, or read people’s emotions; he just knows that he can. With his abilities, he’s an expert at stealing rare items to order, and does it without guilt. But with his adoptive parents dead, his partner murdered, and no idea who he really is, he journeys to Greece to face his past. Only instead of finding family and the reason for the scars he’s covered in tattoos; he’s pulled into the mystery of an ancient story and a new love. Luke MacKinnon is a professor of ancient languages, and he instinctively knows Alex is no ordinary man. The first time they meet, Luke is intrigued by Alex’s tattoos written in a language long forgotten, and his eyes that hold a millennium of secrets. When their paths cross for a second time, he’s told that Alex is his soulmate, but even if he believed that, what kind of god would put him together with a criminal who steals the very things that Alex wants to study? When they work together to locate the Oracle, it’s only because both men have targets on their backs. Despite the evil that wants the Oracle, can Alex and Luke find love, or is finding the truth the end of them both? This MM Gay Paranormal Romantic Suspense from RJ Scott includes soulmates who would die for each other, secrets and lies, murder, an ancient curse, and of course a happily ever after.
