Priya Drake is a reporter with the Washington Post investigating a string of unexplainable crimes in the D.C. Metropolitan are. She also appears in Shifter’s Claim, release date July 8, 2014, where she continues to work to validate the claims of cat people living amongst the humans. On this night, however, before her official investigation even begins, she’s at a local bar, talking to a waitress by the name of Zoe Fallon, who appears in Hunger for You, release date June 10, 2014.
Walking into this local bar at just after ten in the evening is not my idea of fun. Then again, fun hasn’t been on my agenda for longer than I can remember. Lately it’s been all about work, all about getting the next story, which this time happens to be one I’m having a hard time believing myself. But there were two murders three weeks ago that could best be described as “animalistic” and a bank robbery by robbers that looked and sounded like real live big cats but walked upright like men. Sure the murders could have been carried out by some sick psychopath and the robbers could have worn intricate masks and used some new technology similar to Auto Tunes to make those sounds. But last night when I was on my way home, driving past this very bar, I could have sworn I saw something run back behind the building. A dog maybe, a very large dog, but no, it hadn’t moved like a dog and as I came to a stop at the corner I heard what sounded like barking, but not really. All day my mind has been circling around those two stories and the sound I heard last night. So now I’m here, having a drink and observing everyone and everything. Priya: So how long have you been working here, Zoe? {the girl looked young and naïve as she worked the bar, but Priya continues}
Zoe: Not long.
Priya: This seems like a pretty ok place. Seen anything interesting lately? {she’s thinking this might be a waste of time since Zoe doesn’t seem talkative}
Zoe: Depends what you mean by interesting.
Priya: Any guys that ah…don’t look like normal guys.
Zoe: {she paused, the cloth she was using to wipe off the bar still gripped in her hand, her gaze drifting to the other side of the bar where customers sat at tables} That one over there.
Priya: {following Zoe’s gaze} Which one? Dark and brooding on the left or round and obnoxious near the door?
Zoe: {chuckles lightly} Dark and brooding. He comes in almost every night and orders hot wings and a Blue Moon. Then he just sits there, staring.
Priya: At you?
Zoe: {looks down, starts to wipe the bar again} I don’t know. He just stares. And when he talks there’s something, like a feeling in the air. I don’t know what it is, but now that you’ve asked about it. I guess you could say it’s interesting.
Priya: You know anything about him? His name or where he’s from?
Zoe: {looks over to the guy again, then hurriedly looks away because he was staring right at her} It’s Caleb. Caleb Ramsey.
Priya: He makes you nervous? Why is that? Have you seen him do something…has he done something to you?
Zoe: {shakes her head quickly} No. Oh no, he hasn’t done anything to me. Well, um, I mean he scared me in the parking lot a few nights ago, but that was all. I might have just been nervous because it was 3am and it was dark and he was just…there. {she pauses, contemplates} He always seems to be there, staring at me with those deep, dark eyes, pressing close to me with all those muscles and…um, no, he hasn’t done anything to me.
Priya: Okay. Well, in that case, I’ll have another margarita. {empties her glass, deciding not to push because she believes the girl is romantically interested in this Caleb Ramsey and that, to Priya, that’s what’s so “interesting” about him. Not, that he might be one of the cat people, because maybe those rumored cat people didn’t exist at all}

About A.C. Arthur
Author Bio:
Artist C. Arthur was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland where she currently resides with her husband and three children. An active imagination and a love for reading encouraged her to begin writing in high school and she hasn’t stopped since.
Working in the legal field for almost thirteen years now she’s seen lots of horrific things and longs for the safe haven reading a romance novel brings. Her debut novel Object of His Desire was written when a picture of an Italian villa sparked the idea of an African-American/Italian hero. Determined to bring a new edge to romance, she continues to develop intriguing plots, sensual love scenes, racy characters and fresh dialogue—thus keeping the readers on their toes!Connect with A.C.| Website | Twitter | Facebook | Goodreads | Books by A.C.
