Something Worth Keeping

Introducing the first ever whimsical slightly-gray but still a bit fluffy romance book by Lisa Oliver. "Suspended pending a review of attitude and workplace conduct." Julian Purdy, archivist, knew his eidetic memory would get him into trouble eventually. But after being suspended from his job, his trip home was interrupted by a being who shouldn't exist. The corpse the being was holding was irrelevant, it was the creature who fascinated him. And maybe the fates were watching him, because now Julian had the time to research what this creature actually was. "I remove problems...I have done so for a very long time." Cillian, Eldritch guardian, feeds on evil souls, and there were a lot of them in Madison. When his feeding one night was interrupted by a slight man with an interesting personality, Cillian finally had another purpose - find out everything he could about the man who called to his soul... and shadows. He only hoped he could do it without causing Julian to run away. "This has to be a lavish courtship gift," Julian said aloud. "You brought me a courtship gift." Neither Cillian nor Julian were used to courting or relationships, but they are both invested enough to keep trying. However, evil lurks in Madison, and Marcus Vane is the most evil of all. When he sets his sights on Julian, Cillian and his brothers pour all their attention into taking him down. But it seems Julian isn't the only one reading ancient books, and when the confrontation comes, it could spell the end not only for Julian and Cillian, but for the Eldritch guardians completely. Please note this is a darker romance book than I typically write with on-page graphic violence. There is also shadows that like to get into interesting places, a succulent called Gerald, and two misfits who don't fit anywhere else, but do fit with each other. HEA guaranteed.
