When Shadows Call

A novella.

Darian Charles wasn't always a member of the supernatural community. Nor was she always an assassin.

But her new life is far from perfect. For years, Darian suffers at the hand of her cruel husband, always yearning for an escape: one that she knows to be all but impossible.

When an enigmatic stranger comes to call, Darian finds herself charmed by his seductive smile and the inexplicable connection she feels. And when he makes her a thrilling — yet frightening — proposition, Darian must decide if she’s strong enough to answer the shadow’s call...
