Shadow Donna: He Drowned Me So She Could Wear My Skin (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184400808)

My boyfriend didn't just break my heart. He drowned me in a bathtub so an ancient monster could wear my skin.

For two years, Maren Holloway believed her intuition was a mental illness. She believed the medication her structural engineer boyfriend, Kyle, gave her was meant to cure her anxiety. She believed he was her anchor, her safe place, the man who silenced the terrifying static in her head.

She was wrong. He was her handler.

When a cross-country move to the humid, haunted streets of New Orleans shatters the chemical fog in her brain, Maren discovers the horrifying truth. Her perfect boyfriend is a sociopathic operative for the Cult of the Eclipse. Her anxiety isn't a disease-it's a rare, latent psychic gift. And the life she thought they were building was a meticulously planned operation to hollow out her mind, drown her in a clawfoot tub, and offer her body as a vessel for a three-hundred-year-old parasitic entity.

Maren dies. But she doesn't stay dead.

Plunged into the Umbra-the terrifying shadow realm beneath New Orleans-she is intercepted seconds before her soul is devoured. Her savior isn't an angel. He is Vince Corsetti, the ancient, lethally powerful sovereign of the supernatural mafia.

Vince is everything Kyle wasn't: openly dangerous, brutally transparent, and obsessively devoted to the raw, unmedicated power surging in Maren's veins. He doesn't want to fix her. He doesn't want to silence her. He binds his life force to hers, dragging her back to the mortal world to watch her burn her enemies to the ground.

Now, the anxious, gaslit girl from Boston is dead. In her place stands a woman overflowing with shadow magic, flanked by the deadliest predator in the city. The cult thought they were sacrificing a helpless victim.

Instead, they unleashed a Queen.

SHADOW DONNA is a gripping, high-stakes blend of psychological suspense, dark paranormal romance, and supernatural mafia thriller. Perfect for readers who crave visceral revenge, mind-bending twists, and unapologetically possessive, "touch-her-and-die" alpha males.
