Fantasy Urban | Romance Paranormal

Creed Blackwood's parents had their magic stripped from then when Creed was a young boy. He was too strong in magic so the Gineal placed him with another Gineal family and wiped their memories of their son and only child. What Creed didn't know years later was that they had a daughter, Shona. Shona is a dormant Gineal who knows nothing of their existence. She only knows that she has a flare for the arts, especially working with glass. Then Shona loses her artistic ability but doesn't know why.

Logan Andrews, a Gineal troubleshooter has been assigned the job of protecting Shona after she is attacked by a mugger. What Logan doesn't anticipate is the attraction he feels for Shona the longer he knows her. Can he protect her when maybe he is the one she needs protection from?

Logan also discovers that when he overuses his magic he has seizures and blackouts. He cannot tell the Gineal council about it as they may strip him of his duties. How can he safely take care of Shona while battling these horrible blackouts. The longer he protects Shona, the harder it is. There's something more going on than either of them can even begin to imagine.

All I can say is WOW! What a book! I enjoyed every page, every word. The more I read about the Gineal culture, the more I want to know. Patti O'Shea's imagination is a marvelous thing! I stand in awe! I just want more and more!

SUMMARY

Glass artist Shona Blackwood has lost her ability to create, but instead of panic, all she feels is apathy. Her detachment is shaken when she narrowly avoids being mugged, thanks to a timely rescue by a man who makes all her senses come roaring to life.

Logan Andrews is a magical troubleshooter assigned to protect Shona from an unseen enemy. Shona is unaware that magic actually exists and Logan is under orders not to tell her, but it isn't long before he finds his loyalty torn between his people and the passionate woman he is guarding.

He thought this would be a straightforward job, but Logan quickly realizes that in an edgy contest between magic and passion, love is destined to win.
