TALONS: CAGED DESIRE

Locked in a cage for almost fifty years, Logan has had nothing but time to plot his revenge on those who wrongfully condemned him to spend eternity in the deepest regions of a South American rainforest. But with one look at the alluring vampire who holds his freedom in her hands, revenge becomes the farthest thing from his mind.

Eve Blake is puzzled by the wooden crate delivered to her door. Even stranger is the large golden eagle inside.  But it doesn’t take her long to realize the majestic creature is far more than he appears. Finding a man in the cage previously containing the feathered animal gives Eve every reason to suspect the shifter was locked away for a reason. Can she trust him when he promises not to harm her if she releases him? Or will her decision cost both of them more than they bargained for?

Excerpt

Eve didn’t move, didn’t so much as blink. The sight of the very naked man crouched in the cage pushed her once useful heart into a full gallop. She also didn’t need to further examine the cage to know the eagle wasn’t in there with him.

Where had it gone? And how had a man wound up in there instead? Eve cocked her head, her heightened senses immediately picking up on the most obvious fact

He wasn’t fully human.

A shifter of some kind? A handful of times over the centuries she had heard of immortals capable of shifting between human and animal form, but this was the first time she had ever come across someone like that. If indeed that’s what he was.

In the same moment, Eve realized the man hadn’t moved, his arm still outstretched through the bars. Her eyes followed the muscular slope of his shoulder, down his arm to where the crowbar lay only a couple inches from his fingers.

Reacting instinctively, Eve kicked the bar across the floor, far out of reach. Until she knew what he was, she certainly wasn’t helping him out of the cage.

What almost sounded like a sigh escaped from the man’s lips. He pushed up to his full height, but was forced to duck a few inches. That put him a few inches over six feet since the cage was about that tall. Tangled black hair fell just past his shoulders and the same piercing amber eyes as the eagle stared back at her.

Eve shook her head and took a step closer, reassured by the bars. If he could get out on his own, he wouldn’t have needed the crowbar.

His unreadable gaze skimmed over her face and then down the front of her. His eyes lingered on her breasts a heartbeat longer than anywhere else before returning to her face to hold her stare.

A little unnerved, she shifted in place, ridiculously aware of the fact he was naked, only a few feet away, and…aroused? She couldn’t stop her gaze from dipping down past the powerful shoulders, his smooth chest and lower to—

The man in the cage angled away from her, giving Eve a rather enticing view of his behind. Most of his skin was covered in a thin layer of dust of some kind but not for a minute did it detract from the impressive masculinity of him. A strange looking tattoo marked the back of his right shoulder, and she moved closer to get a better look at it.

The man turned back around. He gripped the bars, a hint of an amused smile touching his full lips.

Almost politely he said, “I want out.”

Eve blinked, both at the fact that he’d spoken to her and the raw gravelly sound of his voice.

Her lack of response brought his brows together. “Let me out.” Firmer this time, there wasn’t anything threatening in his tone, but the primal edge to his expression told her just how dangerously serious he was.

Eve shook her head. A cage that held a bird no more than an hour ago, now housed a man, a very attractive, very naked man. She had a few questions that were going to be answered before she even thought of opening that door.

His hands tightened on the bars, the only sign he didn’t like her answer.

“How did you get in there?” If he was an immortal of some kind, then maybe someone had a good reason for locking him up.

The man didn’t respond.

“What are you?” she asked. “You’re not human, not even mortal, are you?”

He frowned, but made no attempt to answer her question.

“If you won’t talk, why should I let you out?”

“Please.” The sincerity in that one softly spoken word caught her in the chest and his golden eyes implored her to help him.

She couldn’t. Not yet. Not until she knew more about him, hell anything about him would do. Without another word, she turned on her heel and strode away. She needed to talk to Kyle.

“Wait,” he called out, the sandpaper voice echoing in the foyer.
