Valerie Swan knew she never belonged in the city. She only stayed in Seattle because of her job as Detective with SPD. But the dense forests, a misty solitude, and a quiet rustic charm is what called to her. So when her niece Bella moves in with her older brother Charlie and a new Detective role opens up with Forks Police Department, she can't turn down the opportunity. There's been a string of animal attacks that call for an expert hand in investigating. And with a population as close-knit as Forks, everyone is rattled. Val is determined to help her brother, Chief Swan, solve the case. Not long after her arrival, Bella nearly gets crushed by a car in the parking lot of her high school. She and Charlie rush from work to Forks Community Hospital. And that's when she meets him. Carlisle Cullen. The lead physician tending to her niece. There's something about him. Something irresistibly charming. It's a magnetic pull she can't shake. He's impossibly handsome and alluring in a way that unnerves her. And he can't seem to take his eyes off of her either. Not in a way that makes her feel seen, but in a way that makes her feel like prey. It's not a soft gaze he offers her. It's dark and hungry. Valerie quickly learns there is something brewing in the small town, begging to be unraveled.

*MAJOR SMUT AND MATURE CONTENT!!!!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!* Eight years after graduating from Hogwarts, Daphne Blackwood returns-not as a student, but as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. It's the height of the Deathly Hallows era, and the castle is no longer the safe haven she once knew. Under the iron rule of Headmaster Severus Snape, tension crackles in the air, and danger lurks around every corner. But Daphne's curiosity gets the better of her when she sneaks into Snape's private cupboard of forbidden potions-and gets caught. Her punishment? Serve the brooding, enigmatic headmaster himself.
