In a dystopian alternate Earth in which omegas face discrimination and oppression, omega Jonah Merrick is hiding in plain sight as a private investigator. He's also demisexual taking heat suppressants to hide from the ten Houses and their oppressive regime. Until a murder of one of his clients brings him into contact with the strangest alpha he's ever met, a detective named Isme Gallagher with a shadow past. The two forge an instant connection in a complicated story of consent, abuse and the darkness we try to hide from ourselves. This is a very rough draft that I am posting as I go. I will try to catch any proofreading issues and continuity errors, but I can't promise anything exciting. This is also a very dark paranormal romance with a fox shifter omega and a non-shifter alpha. I'd describe it as spicy but with lots of emotional angst. It's got hurt/comfort galore and an age gap (28 and 41). It features lots of knotting, scenting, mpreg, explicit scenes of cutting and self-harm, suicidal ideation, sexual abuse (in the past, not between the two MMCs), dubcon and issues of consent. Mental health rep: PTSD (from sexual and war trauma), depression, OCD, self-harm, anxiety. Read at your own discretion. Cover by Rocking Book Covers.

In Peabody, Massachusetts, Luna Aldridge shares a home with her boyfriend, Kyle Tuttle. Sensing that something is off, she feels a stirring within, a yearning for something beyond. Driven by this, she seeks Laura and Victoria advice, the Salem Witches. The witches, with eyes like chips of ice, and the air around them thick with the scent of old herbs and a faint cackling energy, advise her to write in a journal, believing it will sharpen her psychic senses. Following their counsel, she met Geo. Sunlight glinted off his spectacles as she listens to his advice, schooling her in the craft, while his presence gave her a low hum of warning. The air hummed with an unseen energy. With each sunrise, she explores true magic. As she delved into psychic witchcraft, the drama unfolds through her visions; a swirl of dark images. Kyle's odd actions, a nervous energy she can feel in the air, stokes her suspicion. His every move was a shadow, a secret held tight. Guided by the Salem witches, she refines her psychic abilities and learns to sense psychic energy. Receiving the witch relics following a ritual they performed, she feels a magnetic pull from the relics, even as Kyle confesses to the secrets he had been keeping.
