Excerpt from Big Bad Bite by Jessie Lane
Looking back, she saw that the suspect
was sitting in the back of the first patrol car, while the red head
with unusual amber eyes held something out for Capt. Nelson to
inspect. The rest of the team started clambering around in the back
of the van in front of her, so she couldn’t hear what he was saying
to Nelson. But as much as she was curious, Jenna was even more
anxious to put some much needed distance between herself and the
tasty looking stranger who’s head could be mistaken for a red
headed porcupine.
Taking a second, she ran her eyes from
his booted feet back to his piercing gaze. He was just over six feet
tall and probably about two hundred and twenty pounds. His fitted
gray t-shirt pulled tight across his chest. Well worn denim hugged
his thick thighs. He was a pretty hulking guy that seemed to be
stocked with more muscle than most guys carried in the arms or chest,
followed by a trim waist. He cut a memorable picture with his short
hair sticking up in multiple directions, as if he’d been running
his hands through it while agitated. It was a shame she wasn’t the
type to do a little flirting with what looked like a prime virile
male.
The Captain was handing the guy’s
identification back to him while explaining something. They shook
hands and then Nelson walked away from him, heading back towards the
van. The stranger looked directly at Jenna, and cocked an eyebrow as
he crossed his arms over his chest. His stare was penetrating and
demanding. It sent shivers down her spine and sent a rush of heat
that spread though her entire body. The instincts she’d come to
rely on all her life where running amok, telling her that instead of
body burning arousal, she should have been feeling fear instead. She
recognized the mannerisms of an Alpha exuding his dominance. It was a
damn good thing her logic was kicking her body’s reactions in the
metaphorical head, cause she was barely restraining the need to leap
the difference between the two of them and cover his body with her
own. Or perhaps, bare her neck to him in submission.
Jenna snorted. They’d be serving
popsicles in hell before she’d bare her throat to anyone.
A memory of her only paternal family
member, Uncle Owen, flashed through her mind. Sitting on a fallen log
surrounded by the woods behind her Mama’s house, patiently
explaining the hierarchy of shifters. The expectations of their pack
mentality. Ol’ Alpha boy here wanted Jenna to drop her eyes and
look away if she wouldn’t bare her vulnerable neck. That way she
acknowledged who and what he was. Giving him the assurance that she
understood who was in charge. Instead, Jenna continued to stare back
at him coolly. Silently telling him where he could take his dominance
and shove it.
But she had to admit that it took every
fiber of her being not to look down and away.
He was just that damn strong. Which was
kind of scary since she’d never felt the urge to show submission to
anyone before.
Kent’s hand landed on her shoulder
from behind. “Come on O’Conner. Get your Annie Oakley wannabe ass
in here so we can go. We’ve all got paperwork to go back and fill
out now.”
With no choice left, she broke eye
contact and climbed in the van, closing the door behind herself to
cut off any view of the stranger. If she had any good luck left, this
would be the last she’d see of him. If only crossing her fingers
would help those chances, she would do it. Jenna didn’t necessarily
think the guy had figured out what she was. Or wasn’t for that
matter. But her family had tried their best to hide her, and teach
her to avoid all other shifters for so long, that she silently prayed
their attempts would not have been in vain just because this guy got
curious. Her Mama had raised her with all of the knowledge that if
certain shifters every found who or what she was, she was as good as
dead.
Here’s to hoping she hadn’t just
stumbled on to the beginning of her funeral.
BLURB
What would it be like to live in a world
where you are considered abnormal to those who are above the norm?
Jenna O’ Conner has been taught her whole
life to hide from everyone. Never to let anyone to close enough to
know that she would prefer a shotgun for her birthday over of a
bouquet of roses. She’s been
smothered by her over protective family so that no one learns what
she truly is. Which is not human. Nor, is she considered the
norm for the supernatural Other community that is benevolent
enough to share this world with the humans.
In a desperate attempt to live her own life away from the small town
she was raised in, Jenna obtains her dream job as the newest member
on the Wilmington Police Department’s SWAT Team. What she didn’t
predict was that she would run into trouble her first day on the job,
in the form of a deadly, mouthwatering man named Adam McPhee. Who is
also not human, but more like a wolf walking around in human skin.
He’s determined to figure out exactly what Jenna is, which
unbeknownst to him, could very well put her life in danger. He’s
also determined to have her all to himself.
As if that wasn’t
enough for Jenna to deal with, bad news blows into town. A group of
extremist Shifters who think humans are cattle and factions of Others
worldwide should stay within their own species - never to
intermingle. Chaos ensues. Jenna has to find a way to shut them down,
but in the process of trying to do that, discovers things about
herself that even she never thought was possible.
Who said the wolf
was what you had to worry about?
Welcome to the real world.
