The gateways linking the great libraries of the world don't require a library card, but they do harbor incredible dangers.
And it's not your normal bump-in-the- night kind. The threats Gia Kearns faces are the kind with sharp teeth and knifelike claws. The kind that include an evil wizard hell-bent on taking her down.
Gia can end his devious plan, but only if she recovers seven keys hidden throughout the world's most beautiful libraries. And then figures out exactly what to do with them.
The last thing she needs is a distraction in the form of falling in love. But when an impossible evil is unleashed, love might be the only thing left to help Gia save the world.

THE CURATOR OF YOU
Some love stories begin with a glance. His begins with a watch. Joe Goldberg isn't the monster people think he is. He's the quiet man behind the counter of a small New York bookstore - observant, reserved, thoughtful. He believes in stories, in love, and in protecting the people who deserve it. Especially Raven - bright, complicated, unpredictable Raven - the woman who stirs something in him he thought was long gone. But love, for Joe, is never simple. It's a study, a pursuit, a test of loyalty and truth. The more he learns about Raven, the more he's convinced that he's the only one who truly sees her. The only one who can save her from the lies, the pain, and the people who would hurt her. And if protecting her means crossing lines, so be it. Because in Joe's world, obsession is devotion - and love means never looking away. As his past resurfaces and new suspicions close in, Joe must fight to keep his story from unraveling. But the truth is dangerous, and the line between protector and predator is thinner than he ever imagined. A chilling, intimate psychological thriller about love, control, and the illusion of morality - THE CURATOR OF YOU invites readers inside the mind of a man who believes every act of violence begins with good intentions.
