Harlan has a unique power, one that makes him see things others cant, and therefore got him thrown in an asylum when he was only a child. Now he's a reluctant hero, thrust into the profession since he lacked any other option. He's amazing at his job, and six years into his work, is the sidekick to one of the most notable heroes of his generation: Lavina. Unfortunately, he also hates being a hero, but there's one thing that makes it worth it. The numbered. A series of villains who appeared out of nowhere and have an exceptional skill at avoiding the law, heroes, and just generally winning or evading consequences. Consequences, which are the only part of Harlan's job he enjoys. Harlan wants to find the root of it all more than anything, and he's beginning to get close. He intends to find out at any cost. He intends to win at any cost. That, he's sure of. His drive is unmatched. Until something entirely foreign to him gets involved: Feelings. [WARNINGS: smut, gore, swearing, some heavy topics, morally grey characters (the usual)]

BOOK THREE OF SIX IN THE ANGELS AND DEVILS SERIES -- KAI BELLAMY I had one mission. Find my brother when I turned eighteen. But it didn't work out. My plans changed. Everything changed. I'm still searching for him, but I have brothers and Angels to look out for, too. Especially one particular Angel. My Angel. Arlo. We have one thing in common. Dex. My best friend since we were in diapers. He's also... Arlo's dead twin brother. Dex's addiction took him over. Just like he always predicted. I tried so hard to save him. Arlo, too. But now, we both have a piece of ourselves missing. And Arlo's piece is bigger than mine. He lost his twin. His pride and joy. His everything. Dex always told me to look out for Arlo when he was gone because he had a soft heart, and a 'sensitive empath card,' as he called it. And looking out for Arlo landed me in prison for two years. No regrets. But I'm back now, and we've decided to collect our lost souls, and help them live better lives than the ones they were living. But I'm in love with Arlo, and I can't tell him. Dex wasn't the only one I was close with since we were in diapers, but I was marginally closer to Dex. Until he passed. Now, I'm keeping Arlo tucked into my wings. I need him safe. I need him happy. And I have doubts that I will be able to make him shine with sunshine like he deserves, but damn if I don't want to. Until Arlo stumbles across someone we've both been searching for. Out of nowhere. My brother. Noah. And it knocks my brain onto the right track. Arlo is mine, and I'll stop at nothing to make him as such.
