Touched by Starlight

A long-lost masterpiece. A persistent lion. A temptation impossible to resist. All Pandora "Dora" Ross wants is to finish her thesis, renovate the château she's inherited, and move on to a stellar new career. No magic, no danger, no romance. Instead, she's pulled into a shadowy world where stolen art, supernatural powers, and old rivalries collide. Her journey brings her to Amsterdam, where she discovers all is not what it seems - least of all her "lazy" lion-shifter bodyguard. Benedict Bembridge is ready to make a few changes in his life - starting with a new address. Free at last, this lion can roam anywhere his restless heart takes him, so why stick around a crumbling countryside château? Then Dora arrives. Uptight, ambitious, and brimming with unpredictable fae magic, she's not at all his type. Unless, of course, he's misjudged her as much as she's misjudged him. The closer Dora and Bene inch to the truth, the harder it becomes to ignore the spark between them. But as more parties close in on "their" painting, secrets surface and danger escalates. Caught in the crossfire, they must choose what matters most - ambition, principle, or the love neither expected.
