Chosen by Fate

Doomed Heroine. Reluctant Partner. Love Against Time.

When love could be worth the pain of goodbye…

Ten years ago, Wraith woke up without memory, without a heartbeat, and without a place among humans or Otherborn. While vampires, shifters, and mages retain what she has lost, Wraith exists in a body that feels more curse than gift, her time running out with every breath she doesn’t take.

Before the FBI can help her uncover who—or what—she used to be, Wraith is assigned to Para-Ops to investigate a string of brutal crimes against feline Otherborn. Her partner is human shaman Caleb O’Flare, a man driven by grief and unanswered questions surrounding his best friend’s murder.

Caleb never expected to be paired with a trash-talking wraith who wears stiletto heels and has a fast-approaching expiration date. Even so, their attraction burns like a fuse racing toward detonation, and their uneasy alliance quickly turns intimate.

Light and dark.

Healer and destroyer.

Good intentions and inevitable loss.

As danger escalates and Wraith’s time grows short, desire turns reckless. Loving her means accepting pain, heartbreak, and the certainty that forever may be stolen before it’s claimed.

The only way to have her is to be brave enough to lose her and convince her that even a fragile forever is worth the fight.

A dark, sensual paranormal romantic suspense about identity, devastating desire, and risking heartbreak for the chance at love.
