When Shadows Learn to Love
Ruby Martinez thinks that everyone, even monsters that hide in the dark, should be given a second chance. She works as a librarian in Moonhaven, a small, quiet town. She spends her days with books and people, not realizing that her home is right on the edge of the magical and human worlds.
Ruby accidentally brings out magic she didn't know existed when a powerful storm breaks the old spells that were protecting the library. When she touches a strange book, it calls to Asher Nightfall, a shadow demon who has been alone for a hundred years because he is haunted by the town he destroyed and the innocent people who died because he couldn't control his powers.
When they met for the first time, they should have been scared. Instead, Ruby sees past the glowing red eyes and swirling shadows to glimpse the broken soul beneath. Others see a monster in her, but she sees someone who needs to be saved and loved very much.
Seraphina Dark, a vampire queen who has been after Asher for decades, becomes interested in them as their relationship grows. To get what she wants, she will use his shadow skills to build an army of evil. Ruby will be her lure.
As Ruby learns to wield magic she inherited from an ancient bloodline, and Asher discovers that love can transform even the darkest powers, they must face an impossible choice: surrender to Seraphina's demands or risk everything in a battle that will determine not just their fate, but the future of both worlds.
Two hurt souls will learn that redemption isn't about forgetting the past; it's about making plans for a better future, one full of love that can heal even the darkest wounds. the story has both light and shadow.
