Cecelia "Celie" Moore is a normal girl working a 9-to-5 job and having very strange dreams. For months, she has been dreaming about one man in particular-along with a very dangerous and unknown enemy. One day, the tall, dark, and handsome man she has been dreaming about shows up at her job, proving her dreams are real. His name is Michael Hawkins, and it turns out she caught his attention months ago. He's head over heels for her, but he's not the only one who knows it. A cult leader named Devlin Raines desperately wants something of Michael's, and he has realized he can use Celie as bait. Michael would do anything to protect the woman he has fallen for, and that includes abducting her. Now he's revealing who-and what-he is to her, hoping she'll stay long enough for him to keep her safe. Soon, Michael is training her in sword fighting, and she's discovering demons are real. When her best friend is taken, she knows there's no way she can hide forever. The cult has its sights set on her, and the only thing she can do is trust that Michael can help her get out alive. As the weeks go by, Celie falls hopelessly in love with Michael. But with nightmares and revelations around every corner, can they stay alive long enough to have a chance together? Experience the start of the love story of Celie and Michael. This is Book One of the Beyond the Shadows trilogy.
