Belle's seemingly ordinary life transformed drastically when she blew that birthday candle and found herself in 1987, a place where she got the shock of her life-meeting the King of Pop, Michael Jackson! With tinsel spinning around her, she thought she'd be stuck in boredom, yet she was now thrust into unexpected journey back through time.

"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.

Everyone in the village knows the rule: Never stray from the forest path. And never go near the Stormfell Castle. They say a monster lives there. They say the woods listen to him. They say the castle doors only open for prey. But when Dahlia Wynn is asked to deliver a package along the forest edge, a snowstorm pushes her off the safe path and straight towards the forbidden castle rising out of the frost. She only wanted shelter. Instead, the castle welcomes her. A heavy door swing opens on its own... and locks behind her. Inside there is no monster only a solitary, reclusive man the villagers call "The Wolf of Stormfell." A man with sharp eyes, quiet secrets, and a past he refuses to share. The curse they fear? A lie he created to protect himself.

Greyhaven was supposed to be quiet. A small mountain town between forest and sea. The perfect place for Elara to disappear and finish her book. Instead, she opens a door between worlds. Now the boundaries that were never meant to break are unraveling. Creatures slip through the Threshold. Magic answers to her in ways she doesn't understand. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more the world begins to notice her. A powerful wolf alpha watches her like she already belongs to him. A centuries-old vampire with silver eyes knows far more about her power-and her fate-than he should. Drawn into a dangerous, slow-burning connection with both of them, Elara finds herself at the center of something far bigger than desire... or destiny. Because the world survives by keeping its boundaries. Between realms. Between power and those who are meant to obey. Between love-and the lines you're never supposed to cross. And Elara is about to break them all.
