The Lion Shifter's Trust
(2021)(The fourth book in the Enchanted Rock Immortals series)
A Novella by Amanda Reid
Trust once broken…
Lion Shifter Roberta Nlongo wants her reputation back. After a case where an affair with Nash Maguire ended with her faith shattered, she just wants to be seen as a capable investigator amongst her NAC Security peers. The report of a prominent politician’s missing daughter should be just the ticket for her comeback. But fate wouldn’t be so kind. The investigation turns into a battle of wills when Nash is hired by the family. And fate doubled down—not only had Ro fallen in love with the private detective, but found out he was her mate. If only she could focus on her priorities and forget her lion’s craving for the wrong man.
…can’t be regained…
Nash does a double-take when Ro enters his case. He’s tried to forget the gorgeous lion shifter who broke his heart two years ago. When he needed her most she’d shredded his trust, and no doubt she’d betray his love again. Yet no matter where he turns, Ro’s there, reminding him of their liaison, like she’s stalking her prey when she should be stalking their suspect, a serial killer turned vampire carving a path of destruction through humans and human paranormals alike.
…unless love holds the answer.
But nothing is what it seems, both in the missing persons case or the deception which terminated their affair. Can Ro and Nash solve the case and rebuild the trust they’d once shared?
*****
Demons and Vampires. Elves and Fairies. Mages and Witches. Werewolves and Dragons. Psychics and Telekinetics.
These magical beings and more exist, rubbing shoulders in their daily lives with unsuspecting humans. But a supernatural society doesn’t happen without order. Millennia ago, the Clans—Sanguis, Fae, Magic, Shifter, and Human Paranormal—wisely formed a Council to maintain that order. The end? To ensure the worlds of human and paranormal beings didn’t collide and break out into a war that would result in the extermination or subjugation of either.
As human civilization progressed, the first council formed the All Clan Charter at the natural vortex in Great Zimbabwe, giving each clan a voice in the administration of affairs both between the clans and with humans. Next, Asia formed its council at Chengtu Vortex. Then European at Warel Chakra Vortex. North America came next at the natural vortex humans called Enchanted Rock, in what today is known as Texas.
Now, thriving communities of paranormal beings exist in and around the granite outcropping. Humans scrabble over the dome, not suspecting an entire city exists within its confines: the North American Council and all its departments—Legislative, Administrative, Security, Medical, Vortex Transportation, and Legal, plus restaurants, clan hotels, and shops catering to the paranormal crowds.
Also under that dome? Intrigue, politics, and most importantly, love.
These are the stories of The Enchanted Rock Immortals.
