HIGHEST RANK: #1 thief: First she's his captive. Then she's his partner. This is an origin story of a modern day Bonnie and Clyde, complete with crime, mystery, and tons of passion.

// Highest ranking #363 // New Imperos is considered the city where magic was born. As witches, vampires, fairies and more claimed their power and rose out of the shadows, a new era began that slowly spread across the world. No longer did they have to hide. They were finally free. But not everything in New Imperos is as wonderful as it appears. Peony lives on the outskirts of the city in the dilapidated shanty town housing the unfortunate humans living their lives without magic. Even further away nestled in a lush forest is Lucasta, trapped in a manor that is the headquarters for an intricate sex trafficking operation. The lives of two girls, separated by class and distance, become inextricably intertwined. Nothing is what it seems, and inevitably they'll learn that their blood is much stronger than they ever imagined.

Four years ago, Chassie George Lewis gave her heart and her body to the one person she was never supposed to fall for: her sister's best friend. One night with Nathaniel Forester became something neither of them expected-a baby boy, and a bond they never quite defined. Now, they're co-parenting like pros-friendly, functional, strictly platonic. Or so she tells herself. But when she sees Nathan with someone else, feelings she thought were buried resurface-sharp and stubborn than ever. Along with them comes the ache for a chance... one she never allowed herself to hope for.
