The Banshee and the Linebacker
Patricia Mason - 2012
She's typical, that is, except for the fact that she's a Banshee who gets premonitions of other people's deaths. When Tara sees her boyfriend, LIAM's, death in an upcoming game, Tara vows to do anything she can to save his life...even if it means cheating on him with his bad-boy twin brother, KEAGAN. Can she change Liam's fate? And if she does, will her own change with it?*Author note: Since The Banshee and the Linebacker is a 16500-word novella, it is intended to be a complete story but much shorter than a full-length novel. The Banshee and the Linebacker can be enjoyed and finished in one sitting. An excerpt of my full-length urban fantasy/paranormal romance, Entanglements, is included at the end of the eBook
