SHE SHOULD NOT EXIST.
HE SHOULD NOT LOVE HER.
A Paranormal Romance by Syrie James & Ryan M James
Claire Brennan has spent her entire life wondering who her father is, and why her paranoid, “hippie” mom insists on moving every year or two. Who—or what—are they running from? Desperate to stay put at the high school she loves, Claire hides the fact that she’s started getting psychic visions that seem to predict the future—especially when the visions take a darker turn, warning Claire that her own life is in danger.
Alec MacKenzie is new at Emerson Academy, and on the outside he seems like a shy guy with a charming Scottish accent. In reality, Alec is an angelic watcher with incredible powers, whose exhausting duties occasionally include eliminating the wayward descendants of his forefathers. He chose Emerson Academy as the ideal hiding place where he could escape and just be normal for once. What he hadn’t planned on was falling deeply in love with Claire, whose secret heritage makes their relationship—and her very existence—forbidden.
When it becomes plain that Claire’s life is on the line, they are faced with a terrible choice. How much will they risk to stay together? How far will Alec go to protect her?
Syrie James joined forces with her talented son Ryan M. James to co-write Forbidden, a paranormal romance that offers an imaginative new look at the angel myth.
