A Bee and a Shadow

Halloween sets the mood in this second book of Paranormal Obsessions series - "A Bee and A Shadow".
Get ready for suspense, betrayal, and lots of (not Pumpkin) spice in this modern version of a Headless Rider story.

Beatrice Foster's picture-perfect life shatters the night she finds her husband in bed with another woman.
Betrayal spirals into danger and ignites a chain of events that leaves her in need of protection.
Owen, the brooding bodyguard assigned to her, who looks more an outlaw than a bodyguard - is most certainly not the man she should want. Not when she's still trapped in a marriage built on lies.
But the closer he gets, the more she realizes - sometimes the greatest risk isn't losing your life.
It's surrendering your heart.

Owen:
She was supposed to be a job. A client. A paycheck.
Not a woman who'd crawl under my skin and nest in every fucking hollow part of me like she was always meant to be there.
If my curse has taught me anything, it's that you take what you want - or it will be taken from you.
But how can I have her, when she belongs to someone else? And when it's my job as her bodyguard to keep her safe?Especially from me.

Beatrice:
He was supposed to be my bodyguard. Not the man I ache for when no one's looking.
Owen is six-foot-seven of tattooed temptation, heat, muscle, and dominance.
He's danger in denim. Salvation on a Harley.
And completely off-limits.
Every stolen glance, every brush of his hand feels like crossing a line I can't uncross.
I shouldn't want him... but the more I resist, the harder I fall.
