Claiming Shelby: Claiming Series, #5

By Violet Rae

A short story of loss, healing, and finding your soulmate when you least expect it. 

Shelby
When I get the call that my beloved Grandpa is on his deathbed, I leave Houston and head to New York to be with him, knowing every moment is precious. Losing my mentor to cancer shatters me, and my grief threatens to overwhelm me. When a random stranger notices my distress and buys me coffee as his good deed for the day, I push him away. He may be the most handsome man I've ever seen, but love and romance are the last things on my mind.

Tony
Offering to buy the beautiful angel a coffee is an impulsive move. I saw her leave the hospital and the grief in her blue eyes tells me she's just lost a loved one. I know all about grief, and I also know my soulmate when I see her. But my mysterious angel wants no part of me or my coffee, and she's gone before I get her name. Fate, however, has other plans and throws her in my path again - and this time, I'm never letting her go.
