Parker has learned to live in the darkness. Each day, he hides the pain of a brutal home life, working at a bakery to escape the crushing weight of violence. But when he fails to show up for work one morning, his absence sends a ripple through his quiet world.
Hal, a local bar owner, has always kept his distance from Parker, but something about the young man's quiet suffering draws him in. When Hal starts to piece together the broken fragments of Parker's life, he's consumed with a need to protect him-even if it means confronting the dangerous force that holds Parker captive.
As Parker's carefully constructed world starts to crack, he must decide whether to keep hiding or trust Hal with his darkest secrets. But the shadows that have defined his life may be more dangerous than either of them could have imagined.
In this gripping, emotional tale of survival and the fight for freedom, Between the Shadows explores the power of trust, the weight of fear, and the hope that even in the darkest corners, someone might be waiting to bring you into the light.

In the Beat of a Wing {boyxboy}
Book One of the Haunted Lover's Duo "People in the real world always say, when something terrible happens, that the sadness and loss and aching pain of the heart will 'lessen as time passes', but it isn't true. Sorrow and loss are constant, but if we all had to go through our whole lives carrying them the whole time, we wouldn't be able to stand it. The sadness would paralyze us. So in the end we just pack it into bags and find somewhere to leave it." - Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother asked me to tell you she's Sorry. Still wrought with grief from the loss of his older brother, Eden Moir seeks out Malcolm Reed, the best SN lawyer currently working in the surface world. His intentions are mere justice for his brother, who was wrongfully murdered by hunters. Eden has been juggling work and home life, or more like drowning in it, and is in a constant struggle with the tight budget that is being washed away by his mother's drinking problem. Yet, Eden yearns for more as he gets to know Malcolm. He desires for the witch to be more than his lawyer, despite how detrimental it could be for his brother's case. Love is worth the risk, after all, right? Sadly, Malcolm might not see things the same way, looking at the bigger picture, not wanting to cost those around him the career he has built all for his own selfish wishes. But, in the end, there is something far worse at play, lurking beneath the shadows, waiting for the right moment to pounce... waiting for the right opportunity to dredge up the agony within Eden's heart once again.Lengkap
