Midlife Cryptic (A New Beginning #1)

A faerie with a new mission.
A man with a secret.
A vicious murder that must be solved before the killer can strike again…
Imogen never expected to be starting over at 42, but after learning her husband has cheated, she’s facing a new reality of being alone and supporting herself. When a grisly murder occurs in Central Park and rumors of a lycanthrope on the prowl abound, the police make her an offer she can’t refuse. They’ll hire her to use her fae powers to help solve it.

Not only does investigating the crime unlock the faerie inside that’s been calling to Imogen, she instantly knows Brendan—a bedraggled, homeless man arrested for the crime—is innocent. Though, drawing him out of his shell and getting to the truth is far harder.

After living wild for so long, Brendan is unsure how to act or who he can trust. Opening up to Imogen takes time, but if they don’t uncover who is responsible soon, more innocent people could lose their lives.

Forced to face their true natures, Imogen and Brendan race against time to solve the crime and discover what is really important to them—each other.
