Sometimes the greatest danger comes from within…
When Master Vampire Lucien Delgatto threatens her
potential mate Wick’s life, Shape Shifter Andrea “Andy” McNeilly will
employ a den of witches, a bedazzled thong, and her ability to shift into
multiple animals to meet his demands. She plans to keep Wick safe—even if she’s
not speaking to him. Lucien’s unwelcomed control over Wick's life has thrown
Andy into a whirlwind of emotions.
Though Wick vows to do whatever it takes to earn
Andy’s forgiveness and win back her trust, it may be too late. This recent
conflict awakens something within Andy, an animal she’s never learned to
control. For hidden beneath all her forms is a beast whose anger and brutality
rivals none.
Excerpt:
Letting my falcon drift close to the
surface, my eyesight sharpened. A dark figure moved in the brambles near the
deer path ahead of me. About to step closer, something tugged at my senses.
Come to me, a voice echoed in my head. I
froze.
An overwhelming urge to walk into the
forest on my right consumed my body. I hadn’t felt anything like this since…
Since I was fourteen, and walked into
the forest to meet three feras.
Sweat beaded on my brow and the
bridge of my nose. I wiped it away, while fighting the compulsion to move.
Come to me, Carus.
Leaning forward, I tried to locate
the animal. A branch snapped, and my attention darted to where the sound
originated from. The forest hummed with the sound of summer insects. My heart
beat loud and heavy in my chest.
Underbrush
rustled. There!
A flash of orange.
Pop! A sharp sting, much like a rubber
band on bare skin, radiated across my right butt cheek. I yipped and jumped
three feet in the air.
Whirling around, I found Wick with an
ear-to-ear grin and his paintball gun resting over one of his shoulders. If he
had a leg propped up on a recently deceased moose, he’d look like a hunter from
a photo.
“Tagged you,” his whiskey voice
crooned.
