Starcrossed by Allie Therin

Starcrossed is the second book in the Magic in Manhattan series by Allie Therin.

It’s 1925 and New York is as dangerous as it’s always been. Arthur Kenzie’s quest to contain supernatural relics is what drew him to Rory Brodigans, a powerful psychometric with the ability to find the very relics Arthur is looking for.

The pair are bonded by both magic and a deep emotional connection but it’s not just their different upbringings threatening to tear them apart it’s also the chaos creeping into the city like fog across the Hudson. Not to mention Arthur’s ex, an aristocrat, has rolled into town bringing the past crashing through their door.

There’s also a group of paranormals wreaking havoc in the city, and Arthur is determined to keep Rory safe. Things aren’t just heating up for this couple, they’re boiling over. It is going to take every last ounce of magic they have to keep things from falling apart, but it’s their relationship that’s going to be tested more than anything else.

Starcrossed will be available in e-book format May 18.
