It’s hard to keep secrets in a small town…
It’s
even harder to keep a secret that could expose not only your family, but an
entire species. That’s what Frankie Cavanaugh must do. As the daughter of the
leader of the Wisdom Council, it’s up to her to step into her father’s shoes
until another leader is chosen.
It’s
also up to her to continue her lineage within the species.
She
wants to do neither. She considers the shifter gene a curse rather than a gift,
robbing her of a normal life. Unfortunately, the Council doesn’t see it that
way and is determined to wed her to their next leader – by force, if necessary.
Tanner
Coalson is fresh out of college and ready to tackle whatever life has in store
for him. First item on his to-do list is marrying the woman he has loved for
years. He knows Frankie will baulk at the notion because she’s fifteen years
older and was his childhood sitter. He’s no longer a young boy, but a man who
is determined to win her heart, and he is prepared to do just that.
But
convincing her they are destined to be together gets much harder when she is
kidnapped by an old enemy. In order to survive, Frankie may have to reveal her
secret, and Tanner may have to accept what seems impossible, or reject the love
of his life.
Follow the tour and enter to #win a
beautiful owl necklace!
Prologue Excerpt:
Talon Cavanaugh stood on the
grassy knoll above the cemetery, watching the procession as it wound through
the cracked tombstones to the final resting place of the Wisdom Council’s
leader, Leonard Cavanaugh. He smiled in satisfaction as the urn was laid into
the dirt pit next to where his human wife would someday reside. Soon, he
thought, soon all would be in place and he could claim his birthright.
“Son,
I know how much you loved your uncle. Are you sure you don’t want to go down
and join in the ceremony?” his father asked.
Well, the man he had called
‘father’ for most of his life, inquired. It was only on his mother, Sylvia’s,
death bed, that Talon had learned the truth. He was the son of Leonard
Cavanaugh, the owl leader of the Wisdom Council, who had died never knowing he
had fathered a son. Sylvia had wanted to ensure the bloodline stayed pure when
it became apparent that the old fool was planning to wed that woman, Paige, an
inferior human. Sylvia had slipped a potion into his wine as the family celebrated
her engagement to the leader’s brother, Lester, Talon’s assumed father. Leonard Cavanaugh had mated with Sylvia that
night, the potion making him hallucinate that he was with his beloved Paige. Sylvia’s plan worked, and she gave birth to
Talon, who was a pureblood shifter, keeping the bloodline intact.
Glancing over his shoulder, Talon
shook his head in the negative at Lester. He had no need to go down there. He
was the true heir to the leadership position of the Council. He knew the death
procedure - one year of grieving for the
widow and the family. He looked to Frankie Cavanaugh. She was a beautiful
woman, despite her human blood. Her red hair glowed like flames in the
sunlight. She was appropriately dressed in black, her cultural brooch, made of gold
and the feathers of her father, pinned to her breast. She was crying quietly
into a handkerchief, hugging her mother, in solace. It was almost a pity she
would have to die, but there could only be one true leader.
And that position would be filled
by him.
