DUTCH, The Keeper Series Book One by Madhuri Pavamani – contemporary fantasy book reading by Madhuri Pavamani on May 15th at 7 pm
Dutch Mathew is a deadly assassin for The Gate. Juma Landry has nine lives. He has to end each of them. She won’t make that easy. And so begins The Keeper Series, a dark twisted contemporary fantasy full of death and magic, love and sex. Haunted by a gruesome legacy, Dutch Mathew has forsaken all things good and light until Juma Landry crosses his path and makes him want things he hasn’t desired in years. Bound to his past, nothing and no one can prevent him from excelling at a job he never wanted, but when Juma becomes his next assignment, each of her nine lives to be ended by his hand, he must decide: the legacy he never sought or the love he doesn’t deserve.
“Full of sex, magic, and turmoil…poetic and utterly beautiful. I can’t remember the last time a book made me stop and think, wow.” –Meredith Wild, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Available now on Amazon, B&N, Kobo, iBooks, and Google Play.
