Book excerpt: Draoithe: Dragons Come Volume 4 Lieutenant Ryker Talbert came back to the States after his last mission a bit messed up. His former Colonel had retired, and he was lost and followed suit. Wandering around aimlessly though just got him involved in some stuff he could not handle alone. It had him rethinking that last mission and feeling a need to see his former Colonel again. He never made the meeting he set up with Luke. Getting down from his jeep after a long drive to take a leak in the woods saw him nearly mauled to death by a wild panther, knowing his end had arrived, and finally accepting the dark gift from a vampire because he could not let things end the way they were heading. Finding his former Colonel waiting for him when he was with himself again after the delirium and several days of sleeping left him with a lot of questions. The one he needed to answer as desperately as he needed to understand what it meant to be a vampire was what happened to the panther? That was soon followed by dragons? Really? Okay. Just one more thing, how the hell were they going to fix Artie before her loss killed Fox? Steamy Paranormal Romance/ Urban Fantasy 18+ HEA! NC!
