Halloween sets the mood in "A Bee and A Shadow" - Book 2 of Paranormal Obsessions series, that can be read as a stand-alone. (This book is for 18+ readers only.)

Get ready for suspense, betrayal, and lots of (not Pumpkin) spice in this modern version of a Headless Rider story. A dark paranormal bodyguard romance featuring a neurodivergent heroine and the man who sees every part of her.

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.

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.
