Hearts of Obsidian SHELTER

Book 5

Draven has been a warrior for three hundred years.

He's killed more enemies than he can count. His face bears the scars of a lifetime of violence, and his heart has been closed for longer than most humans have been alive. He doesn't deserve softness. He doesn't deserve light. He certainly doesn't deserve Priya Sharma.

Priya came to this frozen world to build a new life.

Instead, she found a war. As the settlement's teacher and caretaker, she's dedicated herself to protecting the children—giving them normalcy in a world of monsters. She doesn't have time for the terrifying alien warrior who watches her with haunted silver eyes.

But the Hollow don't care about timing.

When darkness comes for her children, Draven is the only thing standing between them and death. In the shelter of his protection, Priya discovers that the scarred monster is actually a guardian angel—one who's been waiting three centuries for someone brave enough to see him.

She taught the children not to fear the dark. Now she'll teach him not to fear the light.

SHELTER is a tender, protective alien romance featuring a touch-starved warrior with centuries of scars, a fierce caretaker who refuses to give up on anyone, found family with thirteen adorable children, fated mates, and explicit intimate scenes. This is Book 5 in the Hearts of Obsidian series but can be read as a standalone. Guaranteed HEA, no cheating, no cliffhanger.
