Silver at Midnight: A Paranormal Romance Urban Fantasy (The Keepers of Knowledge Series Book 5) Bridgette O'Hare (ebook offline .txt) 📖

a solid guy. I wish I could say he’s bad for ya, that I’m the better choice. I can’t. But if ya ever find yerself alone . . . I’m a call away.”

“I don’t intend to let that happen,” Cian broke in as he joined us on the sidewalk outside of Rocky’s.

“And I don’t blame ya,” Darek replied. “I wouldn’t if I were in yer shoes.” He never took his eyes from me as he said it.

“I’m startin’ t’ think I can’t leave her alone for even two minutes,” Cian said as he slid an arm around my waist and looked down at me with disbelief in his blazing blue eyes.

“Umm. I can explain?” I flashed Cian my best innocent smile.

Cian just shook his head, an amused smirk playing up one side of his lips.

“I’m goin’ t’ let the two of ya hash this out,” Darek announced with a laugh. “I’ll see ya both later.” We said farewells and he headed around the corner.

“So . . . a bar fight, eh?” Cian questioned.

“I can hardly wait to tell Kara!”

“I’m goin’ t’ guess she won’t be surprised,” he chuckled.

“Nay . . . but she will be disappointed,” I informed.

“Disappointed? How so? She didn’t strike me as the motherly type in our chat meeting this morning.”

“She’ll be disappointed she wasn’t here to see it . . . or help start it.”

“So . . . which of you is the bad influence again?” Cian laughed. “Somethin’ tells me addin’ Kara to the mix is no better than leavin’ ya alone on your own.”

“Hey now . . . this is better than what happened last time ya left me alone. I mean, I didn’t get kidnapped, and I think that’s a vast improvement,” I defended myself. “Let’s focus on the positives.”

“Okay . . . here are what I see as positives from the last few days. Kage is no longer a threat to the Supernatural’s existence, Lachlan agreed to your terms regarding learning the Keeper ropes but being part time on an as-needed basis, Kara actually likes me, you admitted ya love me, and the bar needed new tables anyway.” He paused. “Aye, I think that covers it.”

I pressed my lips into a hard purse, looked up, and cocked an eyebrow as I swung my body to face his and slipped my arms around his waist. “Ya know . . . I don’t recall admittin’ I love you.”

“I think ya did.”

“Mmm . . . nope. Unh-uh.”

“Well, ya soul bonded with me. And that’s kinda the same thing,” he insisted with a wink.

“Oh, is it? So . . . you’re sayin’ you love me then?” I joked back.

Sincerity replaced snark and his smirk transformed into genuine emotion. “Aye, lass. That’s exactly what I’m sayin’. And I’d give my life t’ prove it . . . again.” His smile returned and he laced his fingers in my hair, pulling me to him for a soft kiss.

“Ya know, since I love you too, I’m goin’ t’ request that ya don’t. But ya do still owe me that drink.”

Acknowledgments

To my Marcus, my rock, my partner in crime. I appreciate you more than you will ever know. You were thrown into the thick of battle without a clue as to what it might cost and you never once complained. Well, maybe that one time near the end, but totally justified. THANK YOU for the love, support, and encouragement you always give. Here’s to “having your girlfriend back.”

Jennifer Green, I could NOT have made this happen without you. Thanks for putting up with the short notice check-ins and my uncanny ability to spell the same word four different ways. You’re the best editor an editor could ask for.

To my family and the Tribe. Sorry for being so unavailable for extracurriculars while writing this book and getting back in the swing of “being an author” again. Thanks for understanding. You’re the best!

Susan Ingold (look . . . I used your new last name), thank you for being my creative sounding board and for using your ADHD powers for good.

About the Author

Bridgette O’Hare has adapted to exist on high doses of chocolate, excessive episodes of Supernatural, and copious amounts of snark. She spends her time with witty co-conspirators in search of questionable conversations and ways to unleash chaos upon her characters in fun and interesting ways.

When not taunting imaginary people, you can find her instigating shenanigans, laughing at things she probably shouldn’t laugh at, and questioning her debatable ambitions of being a crazy cat lady if her pursuit of marrying the love of her life proves futile (spoiler alert . . . she's allergic to cats and "the one" is probably gonna propose someday).

She is the ridiculously proud co-creator of two awesome manchildren who have set off to make the world a better place—or at least more entertaining.

Bridgette is recommended by 4 out of 5 people that
