I thought breaking into a cursed lord's library would be the most dangerous thing I'd do tonight. I was wrong. Adrian Blackwood isn't just hiding from society-he's hiding what he becomes every full moon. And someone is using his curse to frame him for murder. Now I have six months to break an ancient curse, catch a killer, and try not to fall for a man who could literally tear me apart. Some research projects are deadlier than others.

!!THIS BOOK HAS BEEN FINISHED, BUT IT'S CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN. UNEDITED CHAPTERS HAVE BEEN UNPUBLISHED!! REWRITE STATUS: 20/63 In the cursed city of Xalathor, two monster hunters just want to survive their job. And each other. William talks too much, jokes too often, and never takes anything seriously. Drystan barely talks at all. Their uneasy partnership survives because neither of them asks for more than the job requires - and feelings were never part of the deal. Then a messy and loud teenage girl barges in. Dahlia's not just here to end a curse; she wants something more. A family. A place to belong. And she's not leaving without it, even if the monster hunters she's set her sights on are experts at pushing people away. Between the emotional wildfire named Dahlia and their own unresolved tension, William and Drystan are in deeper than they ever planned. Thrown together by bad luck and worse timing, they stumble into something messier and way more terrifying than monsters: feelings. Dahlia won't let them run from it. In a city full of ghosts, the three of them are building something new. If they don't ruin it first. Materials used for the cover: https://www.vecteezy.com/free-png/dahlia-flower

He was a veteran, she was a foreigner. He loved her, she could read his mind. He wore gloves to protect others from his sins. She wore kimonos to reclaim her identity. Colonel Gerald Aldrick survived the war, but he didn't come back the same man. Now, a teacher at the academy where he was once alive and full of dreams, he moved through each day like a ghost of the past. Until Robin Taylor stormed into his office. Fierce, beautiful, and convinced he was an abusive teacher, the caretaker tore into him with a passion that made his long-dead heart race for the first time in years. She called him useless. A doormat. A terrible liar. She threatened his job and walked away without a second glance. Gerald should have been offended. Instead, he was captivated. But this was not a story of fate. Robin saw nothing but a sad excuse of a man. A violent soldier pathetically entranced by her looks. Like everyone else. Robin knew exactly what this man wanted, no stranger to that 'line of work'. She had every intention of using his legendary colonel status for the ambitions and prominence of Trizstan's Spiriter Home. But was that all she truly wanted?

When the king of Aizasea is assassinated, eighteen-year-old Celvene is wise enough to keep her head down after witnessing the attack. As a circus mage, she has no business in politics - until the next ruler is selected by ritual, and Celvene is the sole soul capable of wielding the king's sword. Declared the destined queen, Celvene expects to rise... but her kingdom has other plans. Instead of honoring the ritual, the brutish general Aleksandr brands her an upstart peasant and forces her into the castle as a servant, hoping she'll disappear quietly. With their mortal enemy continuing to strike the city, the people yearn for a more ruthless leader, and Aleksandr is hellbent on seizing the crown for himself. On top of that, forbidden and deadly magic begins to blossom in Celvene's heart, threatening to unravel all she holds dear.
