Known for his violent temper, brutal fights, and cold personality, people stayed far away from him for a reason.

Covered in tattoos with intimidating olive-green eyes and a dangerous attitude, he was the type of man parents warned their daughters about. And honestly? They were right to.

"You believe silence keeps you safe, Princess. That if you stay quiet enough, the monsters will pass you by. They will not. Because the worst monster in this city has already chosen you. Tell me who hurt you, and I will make them beg for a death I will not give quickly. You are mine now. And I will slaughter every last one of them before I ever let you face the dark alone again. You are the only thing I have ever wanted to keep alive. And I will drown this city in blood before I let anyone take you from me." - Roman Ashford __ To Avery, silence is the only way to stay invisible. She works the lowest post in the Ashford Empire, smiles at everyone, and keeps her real work locked away: the unsolved cases, the cold files, the predators the system let walk free. When she accidentally draws the attention of the man who runs everything, she thinks she has made a quiet, forgettable mistake. She has no idea she just became the singular focus of the most dangerous man in the city. Behind the perfect suits and polite distance, Roman Ashford is the Ghost Prince - the serial killer who has spent years methodically erasing the worst monsters from existence. He does not want her gratitude. He does not want her fear. He wants her complete, quiet understanding. Avery thinks the empire is simply efficient; she does not know Roman is already eliminating every threat that breathes near her. She thinks she is still searching for justice in the dark; she does not know he has been watching her search the entire time, waiting for the moment she realizes the hunter has already chosen his prize. He is not the gentleman the world sees. He is the blade that moves when no one is looking. And she is the only person he has ever decided is worth keeping alive at any cost. ___ "The Ghost Prince | 18+" is the 2nd special edition book in the Princes of Ardencrest Series. {Can be read as a standalone}

Grace Monroe never meant to fall for the town's biggest red flag. He's emotionally unavailable, covered in tattoos, drinks too much whiskey, disappears without explanation, and somehow still thinks glaring counts as communication. Oh... and he keeps fixing things she never asked him to touch. Her car. Her porch. Her life. Parker Calhoun was never supposed to become someone's safe place. Not after war. Not after grief. And definitely not after burying the only woman he ever loved. A retired Navy SEAL and legendary sniper, Parker has spent years outrunning ghosts, drowning memories in whiskey, and remembering the future he lost when his wife died overseas. Love isn't part of the plan anymore. Then Grace crashes into his life with smoky pink hair, sharp opinions, and a five year old little brother she's desperately trying to raise after losing their mother. She's twenty three, stubborn as hell, running on exhaustion and coffee, and somehow still manages to carry the weight of the world without asking anyone for help. Especially not Parker's help. At first, they clash. She thinks he's overbearing. He thinks she's impossible. But somewhere between late night phone calls while he's gone on missions he won't talk about, groceries mysteriously showing up on her porch, and a little boy who starts telling people Parker is his dad... Things start feeling dangerously close to a relationship. The problem? Parker knows exactly what happens when he loves someone. He loses them. And Grace has already buried enough people to know loving a man built for war comes with an expiration date. Because legends don't stay retired. And men like Parker Calhoun never come home unchanged. Some scars don't fade. But maybe some hearts are worth the risk.
