Seneca Thomas is one of the best agents in XCEL, but she has
a secret. Her Native American gifts let her see the shadows
of the shape-shifting aliens they hunt, no matter whose face
they wear. If her secret is revealed, she's sure her freak
talent will ostracize her from the others in the unit.
Formed to combat the killers among the mostly peaceful
aliens who have sought sanctuary on Earth, XCEL also helps
hide the alien secret from the rest of the world. Because of
the nature of her job, Seneca has only seen the the evil
mass-murdering aliens. She is perfectly comfortable with her
prejudice against the aliens since it, and her talent, helps
keep her and her partner alive. Until the night it doesn't.
Fresh from losing her partner to the claws of an alien
serial killer, she is presented with a new partner, a
shifters hoping to find his wife's murderer among the
aliens targeted by XCEL. A grudging partnership turns to
respect as she sees his dedication, and they save each
other's asses a time or two. Max Dempsey's human form is
sexy as hell, but Seneca can't allow her hormones to
distract her from the next mission.
The being they hunt has bigger plans than random mayhem and
bloodletting. He is forming his own alien underground mafia
and gathering an army to take over the world. Only Seneca
and Max know enough to stop him.
BODY MASTER is the first in C. J. Barry's new paranormal
romance series. She has created a kick-ass heroine who is
uncertain of her own gifts. Max is not your typical hero,
either-- not caring if he lives or dies and willing to bend
the rules if it brings him the vengeance he seeks. The high
stakes storyline is full of action and danger. The world
she has created has plenty of intricacy, and enough hidden
agendas and fully-realized characters to fuel the series for
some time to come.
First in a brand-new sexy paranormal romance series
from award- winning author C.J. Barry.
Seneca
Thomas is an agent with XCEL, a secret government
taskforce charged with capturing the dangerous
shapeshifters that have infiltrated New York City, passing
for humans. Her Native American heritage gives her a
special gift-the ability to see the shapeshifters for what
they are.
But when her partner is killed in the line of
duty, Seneca finds herself teamed up with Max Dempsey-a
shapeshifter. And when the pair discover a growing army of
shifters gathering beneath the city, Seneca will have no
choice but to trust the one man she shouldn't.
