Native American legends and the fairy world combine in a bayou filled with danger, deception and deadly secrets...
As a shadow hunter of ancient, evil spirits, Chulah Rivers is used to strange creatures and happenings in the bayou. But when April Meadows appears out of nowhere to enlist the Native American’s help in a battle that threatens the balance of the Fae and human worlds, Chulah is plunged into a deadly battle—and confronted with an all-consuming desire for this mysterious stranger who knows far too much about his past...
“Bet you have a million secrets buried under that beautiful, innocent face.”
Beautiful. He thinks I’m beautiful. That was something April could grasp and hold on to while facing his disgust.
“I’m not considered particularly beautiful by the other Fae,” she said casually.
Chulah snorted. “Impossible. Harder to believe than the fact you aren’t human.”
“I’m half human. On my father’s side,” she said quickly. As if this might make her appear more acceptable and less foreign.
“Why didn’t you tell me the truth to start with? I’m a shadow hunter. I’ve fought supernatural beings most of my life. Hell, I have my own powers.”
“I’m well aware of your heightened senses. And your strength.” April’s eyes roved over his broad shoulders and chest, the lean, muscular biceps of his arms. Her throat went dry remembering how it felt to be wrapped in those solid arms and how much she’d desired his touch over the years.

The Bayou Magic series continues with Bayou Shadow Protector. You met Chulah in the first book of the series, Bayou Shadow Hunter, and this second book is his story.
The mystery and romance of the Alabama bayou continues as Chulah meets a mysterious woman new to Bayou La Siryna. Strange thing is, she knows everything about him—right down to events and thoughts he’s never shared with anyone.
I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it!
All best,

He came in second place to a dead lover. If that wasn’t just so typical of his life.
Tallulah placed a hand on his arm. “I’m sorry. Really.”
Anger pounded his temples. He didn’t want her pity. Chulah shrugged her hand away and took a step back. “Forget about it,” he answered curtly, knowing his resentment was ridiculous, but unable to control the emotion.
“I had no idea you felt that way about me,” she continued.
Tallulah actually looked surprised. Like he and every other warrior should know that she still thought about Bo, lived for Bo, even when he’d been dead for over a year. Crazy women. He’d never understand them.
