Divine Rising

A slow-burn paranormal romance featuring forbidden attraction, with an immortal protector, and a powerful heroine discovering hidden magic. Divine Rising is the first in a tension-filled, mythology-rich series set against a veil between worlds.

A gifted restoration expert. 

An immortal guardian. 

A castle hiding a fracture between worlds.

Selene Sullivan has built her career on control-on reading structures, correcting flaws, and restoring balance where others see only crumbling stone. When she's offered the chance to work on a remote Irish castle, it should be the opportunity of a lifetime. Except the building doesn't behave like a building. The air tightens without warning. The stone hums beneath her hands. And at the center of it all lies a circular inlay no one will cross, least of all the man assigned to oversee her work.

Bren McLoughlin is precise, controlled, and entirely uninterested in explaining himself. He watches too closely. Moves too carefully. And when Selene steps too near the heart of the castle, his restraint sharpens into something far more dangerous than distance. Because Bren isn't guarding the structure. He's guarding what lies beneath it.

When a fracture in the Veil between worlds begins to spread, Selene does what she's always done. She fixes it. Except she shouldn't be able to. Now the balance Bren has protected for centuries is shifting, drawn toward a woman who doesn't understand what she is, or why his world is starting to respond to her.

The closer they work, the harder it becomes to maintain distance. The more they deny the pull between them, the more the Veil strains in response. And when something ancient begins to hunt her, restraint may no longer be enough to keep her safe. Or to keep him away.
