For the past ten years, Lorak has lived alone, forsaking all human company. After failing in his duty and breaking his vow, Lorak has isolated himself from his past, from the memory of the boy who went to war thinking he would find glory. He has set down his sword and decided to never pick it up again. Until, one day, Lorak finds a mysterious woman left to die in the forest. Saving her, he is surprised to discover he has found a fey, one of the mysterious beings he had been warned about. However, when he learns that his sister is dying, Lorak makes a bargain and risks everything he has - the life he has built in isolation, the memories he has buried deep inside. He will go with the fey to her world for a year and a day, where he will pick up a sword again to teach her people. Drawn into a world of magic and danger, Lorak finds himself in a precarious position when he learns that Lys, the fey with whom he had made a bargain, is a traitor to her own, and his presence might get her and those under her protection killed. However, as time passes, he finds himself more and more intrigued by Lys and the secrets that she hides. As their bargain turns into a fragile love, Lorak must decide what he wants most. A peaceful life or one with the woman he loves. But, as Lys' past comes to light, their love might be crushed beneath the weight of fate. Cover by @shrizgrfx

"𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄" (n.) a state of being pleasantly lost in one's day dream. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Alexios Vasilakis prefers silence over people. Transferring to Halstead College was never meant to be anything more than a clean escape; a place to play football, keep his head down, and stay far away from anything that might crack the control he's spent years building because control is the only thing he's ever had. Back in Greece, love came with conditions, and silence was safer than speaking, safer than feeling. Then there's Sienna Hartwell, loud in all the ways he isn't. Stubbornly kind and impossible to ignore. She slips through his carefully built walls without trying, without even realizing she's doing it and somehow, she becomes the one complication he can't seem to avoid or walk away from. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Sienna Hartwell has always believed love is worth the risk. Even after years of holding onto feelings for someone who never saw her the same way, she refuses to let disappointment harden her heart. So when the quiet, guarded Greek transfer student joins Halstead's football team, she doesn't see distance, she sees someone worth understanding and when Alex, against his better judgment, agrees to help her win over the boy she's always wanted, it should've been simple. It wasn't. Because somewhere between stolen glances, quiet moments and everything left unsaid. The lines begin to blur.

Book 2 of 4(✨The Valemont Series✨) His hips pressed against mine, deepening the kiss with a slow, deliberate rhythm. I could feel the weight of the cold metal tucked into his pocket brushing against the inside of my thighs and the heat pooling between my legs only growing from the anticipation of what I wanted. "Do it." "Do what, Vipera?" His voice was low, husky, warm breath ghosting over the sheer lace covering my nipples making a sharp gasp escape me.
