We Got Powers Too

Atina and Ridge, #1

Atina first sees Ridge when she's standing in an alley, guns pointed at her head. 

The local crime bosses have accused Atina of stealing their money and they mean to make her pay with her life. 

Initially, Atina doesn't think much of the tall, dark-haired dude walking by, that is, until their eyes meet and everything in her shifts sideways. 

Ridge isn't the type to get involved. 'Not me, then not my problem' is his usual motto. But something about Atina calls out to something deep inside of him and he can't walk away. 

Using his empath power and her ability to manipulate objects, they fight the crimes bosses off and get away. 

Ancient magic runs deep in Atina's bloodlines and a powerful being with an old grudge fears what she can do to his future plans of destruction. Disrupting Atina's life with the crime bosses is one thing, but this being won't rest until she's out of the way permanently and her magic silenced forever.
