His Woman #MFRWhooks

The Eagle at Dawn
(Immortal Shifters Book 4)

Rachel's brother uses her as collateral to settle a debt with an outlaw motorcycle gang. She flees to a local bar and pleads with a darkly handsome stranger to help her. His help results in homicide. When eagle shifter Diego's vacation is interrupted by the innocent young woman he recognizes as his mate, he flees with her across national borders because she's his and he's not letting her go.

Having essentially swapped one captor for another, Rachel knows the dashing, sexy Spaniard is keeping secrets from her. He showers her with kindness and generosity in exchange for her obedience. Diego's control over her and his secrets elicit her distrust and resentment.

When freedom beckons, Rachel answers its call; however, freedom brings hardship and indignity. Will she return to the controlling alpha male who stirs her blood or cling stubbornly to her freedom?

Excerpt

A strong, tanned hand with reddened, abraded knuckles shot down in front of her.

“Come, Rachel. We must go.”

She looked up at him, those fierce dark eyes, the bruise blooming across one cheek, the taut planes and angles of a warrior’s face.

“Oh, my God,” she whispered. “Oh, God.”


“Come, Rachel,” he repeated, making the effort to gentle his voice. “The police will be here shortly.”


She blinked in puzzlement. “But--”


“I have killed four men for you.
Come.”

Gathering her scattered wits, she took his hand and let him draw her to her feet. She watched in dumb horror as her rescuer dug in his pants pocket and withdrew a wad of bills which his slapped on the bar. The bartender squeaked when he caught the man’s gaze.


“This should cover the damages.”


The bartender nodded and pointed toward the employee entrance in the back of the building.


“
Gracias,” Diego said and rushed in that direction, pulling his woman along.

Interesting bit here. Escape is a must

I know it's not the direction you want your story to go, but I feel like screaming at her to get as far away from this killer as she can.

And that's okay. It opens the opportunity for redemption.
