His eyes were a steely blue-gray and seemed to look straight into her soul.Despite the blood marring his coat on his right shoulder, he was beautiful.And he’d easily ripped apart two grown men, one of them armed.He continued to advance on her, and she shrank against the passenger’s side of her Camry, hearthammering in her throat. She couldn’t outrun him if she tried, a fact reflected in those piercingeyes. They were eerily intelligent, almost daring her to try so he could enjoy the thrill of chasingher down.“Nice puppy,” she crooned, voice wobbling. Holding out a shaking hand, she tried a command.“Stay!”The beast stopped, cocked his head, an almost bemused expression on his canine face.“Good boy. Sit!”He did. Some of her fear began to ease and she wondered how well trained the animal was.Maybe he was someone’s guard dog that got lost? He’d certainly protected her from thosebastards.“Roll over.”At that, the creature’s form began to waver. Sort of reshape. She blinked rapidly, thinking theremust have been something wrong with her vision. But no, she was simply losing her mind afterall, because fur retracted, became skin. Paws became hands and feet with very human limbsattached. Tufted black ears went away; the snout disappeared and was suddenly a regal nose.And now a black-haired man crouched where the wolf had been seconds ago. A big, very nakedman who unfolded his tall body and gazed down at her, one corner of his mouth quirking upward.“I’ll do a lot of things on command,” he drawled lazily. “But I don’t roll over for anyone,sweetheart.”SIGNET ECLIPSEPublished by New American Library, a division of Penguin Group (USA) Inc., 375 Hudson Street,New York, New York 10014, USAPenguin Group (Canada), 90 Eglinton Avenue East, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario M4P 2Y3, Canada (adivision of Pearson Penguin Canada Inc.)Penguin Books Ltd., 80 Strand, London WC2R 0RL, EnglandPenguin Ireland, 25 St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2, Ireland (a division of Penguin Books Ltd.)Penguin Group (Australia), 250 Camberwell Road, Camberwell, Victoria 3124, Australia (a divisionof Pearson Australia Group Pty.
