Their Phoenix by Charlie Hart, Anastasia James

After spending my life locked in my mother’s no-so-metaphorical cage, I’m ready to set myself free.
Getting cast in a Vegas show was my ticket out … but I quickly realize that doesn’t mean I’m actually free as a bird.
Instead of celebrating my new gig—Mom spends the evening setting me straight about a few things.
I’m not who I think I am. Not even a little.
When I meet my cast mates— five men who say they were sent to protect me—I’m wrecked and raw.
They take me under their wing and I feel understood for the first time in my life.
But they’re keeping secrets from me too … they aren’t ordinary men.
They are hawk-shifters and they claim I’m part of a bigger purpose.
I just wanted to dance, to move across a stage.
But maybe I was meant for more.
Maybe I was meant to fly.
In fact, maybe I was meant to soar.
