A Bee and A Shadow
Paranormal Obsessions
Lina C. Eleste
Owen’s world is full of family curses, dark magic and paranormal beings. It’s hidden from an average human. A woman like Beatrice Foster, the target he’s hired to protect, sure as hell doesn’t belong there.
Yet with every minute he spends around her, basking in her warm light, his shadows crave to possess her, plunge her into his darkness, make her a part of his world. But how can he have her, when she already belongs to someone else? When it’s his job to protect her from any danger? And when the most dangerous thing riding the streets every Halloween - is him.
Beatrice is a woman in pieces - too much, never enough, and scarred by a love that left her hollow.
Owen is the last man she should trust - a brooding ex-military, ex-EMT, with secrets of his own and demons in his eyes.
Yet after he rescues her from kidnappers and becomes her bodyguard, his fierce devotion and relentless desire begin stitching her back together.
With him, she’s more than fragile.
She’s wanted. She’s seen. She’s whole.
But surrendering her heart may be the most dangerous choice of all - because falling for Owen comes with its own hidden undercurrents.
Not to mention, that her soon-to-be-ex-husband is far from done with her.
