Night Shift (The Magic of Wishes & Dreams #9)

Night shift at the clinic brings danger—and an immortal protector.

Beth Kerrigan has survived the unimaginable. Framed for her fiancé's murder, imprisoned with dangerous rogues, and separated from her twin sister, she's finally rebuilding her shattered life. As a clouded leopard shifter working the night shift at a veterinary clinic, Beth craves nothing more than quiet routine and safety.

Security expert Tyr isn't just any vampire—he's part of Lord Damien's elite clan, sent to protect the shapeshifter community in the Hudson Valley as tensions rise between shifters and humans. When he's assigned to install security systems at Beth's workplace, he's immediately drawn to the quiet, wounded shifter with the haunted eyes and gentle heart.

As anti-shifter threats escalate, Beth and Tyr find themselves working closely together during the quiet overnight hours. Despite her trauma, Beth can't deny her attraction to the protective vampire with his dangerous skills and surprising tenderness. Tyr recognizes Beth as his Chosen, but knows her scars run deep—she'll need time and patience to trust again.

Their growing connection faces an impossible immortal vampire and mortal shifter, divided by time itself. While Beth's leopard spirit makes her stronger than humans, her lifespan remains painfully brief compared to Tyr's centuries of existence. How can she open her heart knowing the inevitable heartbreak that awaits them both?

With her sister Naomi's unwavering support and Tyr's fierce protection, Beth must decide if love is worth the risk of future pain. Meanwhile, enemies close in, determined to eliminate all supernatural beings, forcing Beth and Tyr to fight not just for their love, but for their community's survival.

Night Shift is a heart-warming paranormal romance featuring a protective vampire hero, a wounded shifter heroine finding her strength, fated mates, and a unique supernatural world where love transcends all boundaries. Perfect for fans of fated mates, protective heroes, and found family.
