Book Two in the Hail Royalty Duology ARTEMIO ROME: He's an error in my code. Griffin Knight. He's not supposed to crawl under my skin and hibernate there when I thought I extracted him a year and a half ago. I never needed his fake promises of a future with rose pedals and smiles. I've walked down that road before, and I refuse to bow at another man's feet. I will not be ruined a second time, and I most certainly will not be ruined by Griffin Knight. All love has shown me are the ways I don't deserve it, so I put an ocean and a block list between Griffin and me. So, why is it the minute I set foot back on U.S. soil, I am automatically magnetized to the one I tried so hard to leave behind? Not only am I forced to work with him toward my best friend, Prince Cyprus, wedding day, why does he have to be Evander's best man? Also, why? Just why was he recruited as a model by my Mother for my debut fashion line? Why do I have to go through the torture of seeing him in close quarters almost every day? And why is he suddenly starting to notice the signs of my past that I've worked so hard to keep hidden? Why is my guard slipping around him? Why does his touch promise safety and security, when I'm never supposed to know what that feels like? I don't even like to be touched, but why do I start to crave his? No, he can't slip past my walls. He'll see everything. He'll see every weakness I've worked so hard to keep hidden. And he'll see nothing except the dead shell of a person I mask like an expert. But why does it seem like every time he looks at me and sees through my facade... that he wants to bring me back to life? He's an error in my code. But I suppose errors can lead you toward something you swore you never deserved. Love.

Book One of Two in the Hail Royalty duology. Book two is a different couple. PRINCE CYPRUS: Life used to be simple. College classes, caffeine overdoses, and love letters that always arrived when it rained. Sweet, right? Turns out, my "secret admirer" was my best friend Artemio (Art) Rome-at least, that's what he claimed. We agreed to stay friends (because I've only ever seen him as a brother), but something about the whole situation always felt... off. Especially since the other person I trusted most, Evander Knight, disappeared the night of his graduation-one year before mine-and ghosted me completely. And it was suspiciously the same night Art took credit for the secret admirer letters. Now it's two years later, and guess who's back in my life? Yep. Evander. And we're stuck working together as editorial assistants, trying to convince the notoriously reclusive author Storm Orion to finally write the sequel to his hit novel-the same one that ended on a soul-crushing cliffhanger before he vanished into thin air. Oh, and the letters? They've started up again. Art swears it was him all along, but the more he insists, the less I believe him. Storm Orion only replies to my emails. And the sequel? It's weirdly familiar. Too familiar. Evander's back. The letters are back. And I'm starting to realize I might have always been in love with the boy who left, and not the boy who stayed. So now I've got questions: Why did Evander disappear? Who actually wrote the letters? And who, exactly, is Storm Orion? And to think, I always thought I was chasing someone else's story (Storm Orion's sequel). But maybe it's my story. And now, with everything unraveling-the secrets, the letters, Evander's return-the biggest plot twist of my life happens. The plot twist? Storm Orion's books are meant for me, and I'm the only one who can choose how they end. Will it be another heartbreaking cliffhanger... Or the happy ending we all deserve?

Becoming the most famous exorcist and a phenomenal celebrity was never in Leon's plan. He joined the reality show Exorcism Live only to inform the public of all the misconceptions about demons and exorcism, and to raise awareness about the alarmingly increasing incidents of demonic possession all around the world. He did not expect to be crowned as the "most attractive man of the year" and the "hottest priest in the world" once the show went viral. And he certainly didn't anticipate that Satan himself would become his biggest fan.
