Blood and Bone
By Patricia Logan
U.S. Marshals I.S.R. (Interspecies Response), Book 2
Aristotle Brown is starting to like his new job with the U.S. Marshals Interspecies Response unit. If anyone would have told him vampires, shifters, werewolves, and space aliens existed a few months ago, he would have called them crazy. But meeting his new partner has proven to be the best part of the I.S.R. He’s settling into the new job and the new man nicely. When he moved out to Los Angeles from Lexington, Kentucky a few months ago, he thought he might try finding a guy, but he never expected to feel that way about his new partner.
Eoghan Sapphire thinks Ari is beautiful and brilliant, and that’s probably a good thing since they spend a lot of time together. Very quickly, he realizes that the feelings he’s having for the man, aren’t purely professional. He wishes things would slow down for just a minute but when work gets in the way, he realizes they can’t stop moving for even a minute. On the way to northern California to help the local sheriff locate a fugitive shifter Eoghan once put behind bars, he and Ari drop in on a friend before coming face to face with a couple of unexpected predators. If their life wasn’t crazy enough, a couple of cephalopods give chase.
Better still, a case involving a vampire with a very unusual oral fixation, has both of them grateful for the blood-sucker’s restraint. Just when both men think things might settle down and there’ll be an end to the madness, they’re tasked to meet a couple of the scariest shifters they’ve ever heard of. And just to put a cherry on top of the assignment, it turns out these guys aren’t exactly the forgiving kind. As Eoghan and Ari enter a world neither could have prepared for, they come face to face with something thought to live only…in legend.

Exclusive Excerpt:
Ari did his best to fight, but to his horror, realized his vision was starting to swim with black spots. He promised himself he wouldn’t panic but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break the merman’s hold. Ari knew in his heart he was losing. He held his breath but felt the fight going slowly out of him, feeling helpless against the inhuman strength of the merman and yet, unwilling to give up the fight until he absolutely had to. He kicked his legs, feeling them hit the merman’s giant tail, oddly noting both the smoothness but also the muscular nature of the strange extremity.
“I’m dying.”
The horrible thought flitted through his mind as he suddenly pictured the despair on Eoghan’s face when he saw him lying dead, choked, drowned, or both, floating at the bottom of the pool. Fleetingly, he wondered why he’d needed to explore the damned pool alone, even when he’d realized something was wrong. Why hadn’t he gone looking for Eoghan? He was starting to drift, unconsciousness slowly overtaking him…
A shout rang out. It was garbled, clearly not coming from the creature he was fighting, and when he got a good look at the merman’s face, he’d turned to look upward, seeming to watch something…or someone intently. He suddenly let Ari go. In an instant, the vise-like pressure he’d been feeling relented.
Overwhelming agony sent flaming hot fire racing along every nerve in his neck. It took him a split second before he’d regained enough of his senses to feel the next sensation which was the desperate need to breathe. He began kicking his legs, once again aware that he was hearing distant shouting. It felt so far away and yet so familiar, he somehow knew he needed to swim toward it.
The moment his head broke the surface, Ari gasped, sucking in great lungfuls of air. It came rushing into his lungs so quickly and so painfully, he began coughing. He tried turning his head to see where the shouting was coming from, only now recognizing Eoghan’s voice. Unfortunately, when he moved his neck, the overwhelming urge to vomit rushed in on him. He was helpless to move, knowing if he tried, he might pass out. And then everything became clear. Instinctively, he realized if he didn’t make it to the side of the pool where he could grab the edge, there was a chance he’d go under again.
And if I pass out, I can’t help Eoghan.

The very last thing U.S. Marshal Eoghan Sapphire wants is a new partnership. Worse yet, the transfer from Lexington, Kentucky is a civilian. That means it’ll be Eoghan’s responsibility to break him into the I.S.R. and the unique way their particular U.S. Marshals Service unit operates. He decides being a jerk to him and keeping him at arm’s length just might be the way to handle things…until he meets him.
Aristotle Brown isn’t like anyone Eoghan’s ever known before. He’s polite, willing to learn, and most of all, devastatingly handsome. Eoghan’s actually happy they’re thrown into a dangerous situation with a WITSEC protectee the first day his brand-new partner is on the job. Dealing with this particular man will let Eoghan know what Ari Brown’s made of. Will he break under pressure?
Dealing with humans is standard everyday stuff in the U.S. Marshals Service but other non-human species like shifters, other paranormals, and aliens from distant star systems…well, that’s where things promise to get downright interesting. Their second day on the job is no different. And he’s not prepared for Ari’s cool-headed composure when he comes face to face with an example of everything the I.S.R. deals with every day.
To top it all off, the marshal sent to back the two men up when things get dicey in Griffith Park isn’t as reliable as Eoghan had hoped. The impulses of the guy nearly get them all killed but fortunately, Ari performs like a dream, helping extract everyone when things go from bad to worse. Eoghan is sure of a couple of things…acting as this man’s training officer isn’t going to be such a struggle after all, and keeping his hands off him is going to be the hardest part about this assignment.
