Fallen

A mysterious recluse. A muscle for hire. United by an enemy unseen for centuries.

Lotte wears the costume of a small town, shop owner like a protective second skin. Play the part of a middle-aged, workaholic woman and you’ll fade into the background. There’s safety in keeping her distance-not that her family left her much choice. But when a challenger threatens the peace she’s worked hard to maintain, Lotte’s competitive side comes out, putting her shop-and her heart-on center stage.

Joaquin is a cavalier mercenary who lives for dark humor. He’s seen it all in his job as a paranormal bouncer at a local pub. Motorcycles, late nights, and an unusual side gig keep him busy. But when a captivating woman with secrets as deep as the shadows begins to haunt his dreams, the past threatens to resurface-and that ain’t happening under his watch.

Fallen is the prequel novella in the Four Crowns series. This bonus story centers on finding love later-in-life, slow burn romance between star-crossed lovers, and has mild language with a little snark.
