Not all shadows are what they seem…
Kay swore an oath to use her Shadows to guard the light—an oath she takes very seriously. So, when a dark Shadow arises to terrorize London, she steps up and fights back. The last thing she expects is to find herself being patched up by a sexy paramedic who has no idea what kind of power he could control… or for her Shadows to recognize him as their perfect match.
Ethan doesn’t trust easily—not in matters of love, and certainly not in… whatever supernatural secrets Kay’s mixed up in. But the more time they spend together, the more he realizes he needs her with an intensity he’s never known before. Accepting her crazy, Shadow-filled world will be difficult. Opening his heart to her… he’s afraid that might be a step too far.
But the dark Shadows are growing. Their enemy is powerful—and closer than anyone realizes. Can Kayleigh and Ethan claim their happily ever after? Or will the darkness claim them first?
Shadow Guardian, the first book on the Blood Shadows Trilogy, is an adult paranormal romance for readers who love fated mates, fast-paced adventure and plenty of spice. Each book in the trilogy follows a different couple and has its own guaranteed HEA. The story concludes in book three.
“Okay, you need proof… something visual….” Kay looked around the room, checking that no one was watching, and then faced him once more. “Don’t freak out, okay.” “Do I look like I freak out easily?” Ethan asked. No, she didn’t think he usually would. But still. “I’m willing to bet this could be the first time. Sit quietly, look for Shadows, and don’t freak out.”
She turned Ethan’s hand over so that she was holding it, palm open on top of hers and hidden from the rest of the room by the vase of spring flowers on their table. Then, with her other hand, she gently called a small Shadow. She deftly rolled her hand, twisting her fingers to form a miniature person-shaped Shadow, and put him down to sit in Ethan’s palm. It was a trick that she, James, and Zach had perfected years ago.
Ethan’s eyes shot open, and he pushed his chair back hard, about to stand and, no doubt, run a million miles. But Kay held tight to his hand, looked up at him, and grinned. “You told me you wouldn’t freak out.”
He settled back into his seat slowly, shoulders tense, staring at his hand. She turned a finger and the Shadow puppet stood up and walked around on Ethan’s hand a few times. She gave him a little shooing motion, and he walked up along Ethan’s arm and back down to his palm again. Then she twirled her finger and he turned around a couple of times before curling up and going to sleep.
Ethan looked like he couldn’t decide whether to laugh, scream, or call an asylum. “What the hell is that?” “A Shadow.” Ethan shook his head. “What. The. Fuck. Is. In. My. Hand?” “You are freaking out!” She couldn’t help the laugh that bubbled out. “Don’t be such a baby.” His eyes narrowed and he leaned forward. Being laughed at was obviously not something he was used to.
Kay gently picked up the Shadow puppet and then tossed her hand up to release him. She allowed him to dissipate into thin smoky tendrils and held out her empty hand to Ethan. Okay, so it was a bit heavy on the theatrics, but it wasn’t as if she ever got to show off. It was the most fun she’d had in ages. She leaned back, feeling pretty pleased with herself, even with Ethan’s death glare boring into her over the table.

Jennie Lynn Roberts believes that every strong, kickass heroine should have control of her own story, a swoony hero to support her at every turn, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Because that doesn’t always happen in real life, she began creating her own worlds that work just the way they should. And she hasn’t looked back since.
Jennie would rather be writing than doing anything else—except for spending time with her gorgeous family, of course. But when she isn’t building vibrant new worlds, she can be found nattering with friends, baking up a storm, or strolling in the woods around her home in England.
