Zane (Shadow Warriors #9)

Zane Miller has never experienced stability in his life. Stolen from his birth mother only to be placed in a compound with a violent, narcissistic mother and a father who learned to obey or else.

His life was a series of beatings and humiliations. Until the day he and his brother dared to attempt to escape. For Monty, it ended in death but for Zane, he made it out.

But it wasn’t long and he was dragged back in. With a new life at Belle Fleur, and finding himself both as a man and a skilled human, he’s excited to see what the world might have to offer him.

He never expected what he found.

Blake had gone from one frying pan to another, then proceeded to leap in the fire as well. I mean, why not. She was on a roll. But good fortune favors those seen by Irene Robicheaux.

When a handsome stranger comes to her rescue, she is taken from the clutches of abuse to the arms of a true family.

Having hidden her own gifts for years, she’s now faced with the opportunity to not only display them, but use them to help the world. When she and Zane connect, it feels too good to be true.

I mean, what are the odds that two abused people, once void of hope, should find one another? Well, it is Belle Fleur.
