Dusk (Dangerous Web #1) - Aleatha Romig

DUSK

book #1 DANGEROUS WEB

“When your whole world is shaken from all the risks we have taken, dance with me. Dance with me into the colors of the dusk.” ~ Ben Harper.

I’ve served my country, a man, and a cause. I’ve given my whole being while at the same time finding its true meaning. There was no way for me to know that the day I met the men who were to become my best friends, they would introduce me to the love of my life.

Fiery red hair and hypnotizing emerald eyes caught my attention.

Creamy, soft skin, a stark contrast to mine, seduced my body.

Strength, devotion, and determination stole my heart.

I am Reid Murray, and I’ll kill without regret to once again dance in the dusk with my wife. This war has only begun. I won’t rest until it’s done.

Dedication

To everyone who has fallen in love, over and over, with different fictional characters for different reasons during different seasons. To everyone who has finished one book with a smile on their face saying, “This was the best,” only to open another. To every reader who has the courage to open themselves up for more love, laughs, tears, and even heartbreak.

Life, like books, keeps coming. The best thing we can do is hold on for the ride.

Thank you for taking that ride, that journey with the Sparrow Webs.

Thank you for loving Sterling and Araneae, Mason/Kader and Laurel, Patrick and Madeline, and now Reid and Lorna.

Please join me once again in the glass tower, with the ladies and the men, with family of blood and of choice. Please accept your invitation to be an integral part of the Sparrows because we are not finished. There is more story to share.

Hold on for more...Sparrow Webs.

Dusk—the moment at the very end of astronomical twilight, the darkest part.

Are you ready to be Aleatha’d once again?

And while the singe of the flames burned through my insides, I was paralyzed—helpless to escape. All around me, monstrous trees and giant structures melted under the intense heat as the blaring snap and crackle consumed my hearing. Years of work, accomplishment, and adoration burned, leaving behind a trail of ashes.

I came to my senses or maybe they came to me. An out-of-body experience as if I were trudging through deep muck, the kind of place seen on a movie or television show—a marsh or a bayou. Shadows of vegetation loomed as insects feasted on my skin. I couldn’t swat them away. I had to keep moving. Each step was a struggle, each thought filled with uncertainty.

My journey knew no end, no destination. The path was as dark as a starless night. I lifted my hands to feel what I couldn’t see. My temples throbbed and my heart raced as
