Operative: Cody Livingston (Shark-Shifter)
Wereshark and former Immortal Op Cody Livingston has spent decades keeping his head down and staying off the grid. Ever since he volunteered to be part of a test group when the government attempted to create super soldiers, he’s been in a fight for his life and those of the men he sees as brothers—fellow Outcasts. You see, his own government turned against him when the DNA manipulation attempts didn’t go as planned.
Now Cody spends his days trying to right the wrongs left in the wake of the experiments and protecting any innocents caught in the crossfire. This is easier said than done when he’s had to escape the clutches of a madman hell-bent on possessing Cody’s healing gifts and longevity. As old foes resurface, the stakes get even higher when Cody realizes he not only has a mate but that she’s in the crosshairs of the enemy as well.
To Jenn, Shane, and Kelli for setting aside everything to help make this book a reality. I couldn’t have done it without you. You are an amazing support team!
To the fans of the Immortal Ops Series World for letting me do what I love to do in each and every story. Thank you!
To the amazing and talented Gena Showalter for letting me use your name for my heroine. You are truly one of the sweetest and kindest people I know.
Note from Author:
While this book is a stand-alone title, I highly recommend reading Isolated Maneuver, Act of Passion, and Healing the World first for maximum reading enjoyment.
I hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor. I spent many hours and much brain power taking courses about sharks and marine life as well as researching it all in hopes of making Cody’s story the best it could possibly be. Any errors are my own and not that of the professors, instructors, and so on. I ask that you give me a bit of leeway, especially considering I’m asking you to believe a man can turn into a great white shark. LOL

Chapter One
Seventeen years ago…off the coast of Costa Rica
Cody Livingston stared at the bonfire before him, his beer in one hand, and a guitar propped near him in the sand as he sat on a beach blanket. The night air had a slight chill to it, which wasn’t exactly normal for that time of year in Costa Rica, so the bonfire was a welcome addition. Next to him was a sexy brunette (whose name he didn’t bother to catch or ask) who was downing yet another beer while she wore a bikini that covered next to nothing.
Not that he was complaining. Looking at her was no hardship by any means.
But he was pretty sure she should have stopped drinking several beers back. She and her girlfriends were in Costa Rica celebrating the upcoming marriage of one of them and had all flown from California to spend a week letting their hair down and apparently their panties as well.
If Cody was right, the bride-to-be was currently down the beach a way, having sex with two surfers she’d been hitting on earlier at the bar that was a short walk from the bonfire. What he did know for a fact was that neither of the surfers the woman was boning was her soon-to-be husband.
Cody didn’t care one way or the other about the morality of what was going on. If the people involved were all consenting adults and having a good time, it wasn’t his business. Sticking his nose in their affairs wasn’t something he planned to do. It wasn’t as if the woman was his soon-to-be wife or anything.
He snorted.
Not that he’d ever had one of those.
A wife. Soon-to-be or otherwise.
Hell, he didn’t even have someone who could be labeled a girlfriend, let alone a steady one. He slept with a different woman each time the need for sex hit him, which was often, with his condition as an alpha male shifter. He didn’t bother with things as trivial as names of the women he slept with or whether they were married. He wasn’t exactly proud of that but since it was his truth, he didn’t much care. He didn’t need to know their names or relationship status. It wasn’t as if he’d see them again. They were aware he wasn’t in it for anything more than sex. He was never shy about stating as much upfront.
No need to promise something he’d never deliver—commitment.
To date, no woman had turned him down. Hell, he rarely, if ever, needed to ask. They just offered themselves up to him. The woman beside him had more than hinted at wanting sex from him already.
Any other time he’d have been all about banging a hot chick, but he’d been off his game the last few nights. The urge for sex wasn’t there. And if it was, he hadn’t noticed it over the unease and anxiety that had been at the forefront as of late.
The woman giggled and tugged on his arm, nearly making him spill his beer. She had one of those laughs that was off…forced. As if she didn�
�t really find whatever it was that had prompted the laughing funny. Maybe she thought she was being cute. Or that her laugh was sexy.
He could assure her. It wasn’t.
The hiccup that followed made him wonder just how far in the bag she was.
While Cody had made sure she and her friends weren’t driving, he’d had no luck convincing any of them to slow down on the drinking. While he may not give two shits about their marital status, he did care about drunk driving. Innocents could end up hurt.
He was no role model, as he took another drink of his own beer. Then again, he wasn’t driving anywhere. The small beach bungalow he was renting temporarily was just up the beach a short walking distance. It didn’t matter that with his shifter metabolism, he would have to drink ten to twenty times more than a human just to feel the effects. It wasn’t in him to put other people’s lives on the line, and that was what someone did when they got behind the wheel impaired.
Since he wasn’t driving, he was doing his best to make that ten to twenty times more drinking thing a reality. He wanted to numb himself. Specifically, his overactive brain. While it wasn’t impossible for him to get drunk, it took some doing.
