Sure, she was plain and dull, but she was the sort one could settle down with in a few years after the sowing of the wild oats was completed. . .if one could get past how plain and ordinary she was that is. In truth, Lady Lavinia Antrucha was nothing compared to her sister, Cassandra. She had neither beauty nor social notoriety. . .but at least she didn't leave a trail of broken hearts behind her. She's the one people go to when they're in trouble and don't know what to do, the one who is supposed to be the stronger of the two Antrucha girls, the one her parents expect will stay with them for the rest of their lives, because what man would want to marry plain, little Lavinia? The most sought after bachelor in all of Scotland, the life of any given party, that's what they named Laird Ethan Brodi. He was the toast of high society and the man every mother yearned to see on their doorstep, asking to see their fine daughter. He knew there was something more to life than petty women who couldn't see past his fine physique, and he intended to find it; that is, until his father decided he had spent enough time unmarried and forged an alliance with the rich Antruchas by promising him in marriage to the eldest daughter who would certainly match Ethan in good looks and fine tastes. As far as Ethan was concerned, Lady Cassandra Antrucha could take a long walk off a short pier, but his father's word was law, and so to England he must go to meet his future bride. Can he go through with a marriage when his heart yearns for another? #Wattys2016

"Here, With You" continues the story of two people who finally say the thing they were afraid to name. After the confession, there is no dramatic turning point-only the fragile work of staying. What follows is a season of learning how to exist together in the open: navigating the vulnerability of being chosen, the fear of choosing back, and the small, human moments that make love feel both exhilarating and terrifyingly real. Set in the aftermath of almost-love, "Here, With You" unfolds through quiet days and shared spaces-familiar cafés, late-night conversations, the comfort of presence, and the unease that comes with knowing that now there is something to lose. The story lingers in the in-between moments where affection deepens into commitment, where love is no longer imagined but lived, imperfectly and sincerely. Tender and restrained, "Here, With You" is a meditation on what happens after the truth is spoken: how intimacy grows not from grand gestures, but from choosing to remain-again and again-right where you are.

"My story ends how it began: with the threat of eternity." Avia Sable did not ask for this. She was not the one who bargained away her soul in exchange for beauty, power, and invulnerability. No, that was all her mother's work. She did not ask to become a monster, but that is what she is now. "Witch" "Goddess" "Lich" "Vampire". These are the names people have given her, but the truest word for Avia is "alone." That is, until the Queen sends her a huntress, hoping to eradicate the Monster of the Hevamore for good. The huntress was always doomed to fail to take Avia's life, but she did take something else. Something that Avia never knew she had. Her heart. Still, though, there are those who will stop at nothing to ensure Avia's demise. But now, Avia has something to fight for, someone to protect. And when they come for her and her huntress, they'll learn just how much of a monster Avia really is. THIS STORY CONTAINS REFERENCES TO OLD CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY, INCLUDING DEMONS, THE DEVIL, AND HELL.

What happens when you meet someone on the worst night of their life? When they're standing on the edge of a bridge and you're the only one who sees? How does a story like that begin? The story of two people who meet when everything's already falling apart. After her twin sister's death, Norah Bishop learns how to look whole - polished, composed, untouchable. She carries a secret that feels heavier than grief and a guilt she mistakes for balance. If something was taken, something must be paid. Daniel Cohen has been quiet his whole life. Not because he has nothing to say, but because no one ever listened. Not when it mattered. He doesn't believe in fate. He believes in control. In endurance. In loving one person so steadily it becomes instinct. They aren't supposed to collide. But from the moment they do, something ancient and unspoken refuses to let go - in glances across classrooms, in banters, in conversations that stretch past midnight, in touches that feel like recognition rather than discovery. As old wounds surface and truths threaten to unravel everything, Norah must decide whether she will keep living like punishment - or choose a love that feels terrifyingly alive. This is a story about grief that lingers. About desire that burns through fear. About two people who don't promise to save each other - only to stay. -------- [Book 1] in the Norah & Daniel Universe
