Wings of Fire by Stephanie Mirro

I wasn’t always the bad guy…

Once upon a time, I was simply Veronica Neill: daughter, sister, phoenix. But now I’m all alone, and life as the Falcon – an avian shifter and acquirer of fantastical things – is dangerously sexy and fun.
Some might even call me a thief, just never to my face.
But when my latest acquisition is stolen before I arrive and a gruesome murder is blamed on me, I’ve got a choice to make. I can get taken in by the hotter-than-hell agent sent by the Death Enforcement Agency and let them charge me with a crime I didn’t commit, or wait for my bloodsucking client to realize I’ve failed at the job for which he hired me.
I don’t like either door, so I’ll take the window instead. Time to track down the real killer and clear my name.
If I don’t solve this murder, and fast, then I might just be facing a lifetime in a grim prison. Or worse, a lifetime of servitude to the man who hired me, a man who’s turning out to be more dangerous than I realized. And my kind lives for a very long time.
