"A dagger? Are you flirting with me, amore?," came the crafty tease when I didn't give him the satisfaction of a retort.

Psyche Evelyn Thorne is the youngest daughter in a long line of prestigious virtuosos. Her step-sisters however were very envious of her talent for haunting melodies and her voice. Conspiring to get rid of her, they forced her to get married into the mysterious, isolated House Whitebane. Evelyn was certain that the  Young Lord would refuse such a ludicrous proposal but what a shock it was to her when he accepted.  But why her? If not for love or an inheritance, what could he possibly seek from her? 

C: "I have since mastered my shadow...yet she tempts me with her lustre". But when my mask is gone, will she fear the monster underneath?

At the same time that their tale takes place, a wormhole has opened to the kidnapping of several missing children, and danger lurks at the return of a sadistic secret-society. Will the detective and her best friend solve this case, or watch as history repeats itself yet again?

Like clockwork. 

For the question wasn't where, it was when.

This story takes place in the Fictional Isle of Volta where  we reimagine a gothic retelling of the Greek myth of Eros and Psyche with an air of mystery. Its' Belle meets the Beast but with disturbing twists, and with wholesome moments that give you butterflies.

Enjoy sweethearts^^

"There isn't a single word on this Earth that can describe how radiant you are. I am certain that a vision of you inspired the heavens, that one glimpse of you would make God realize why he created man. You are a divine angel and I am but a humble man begging on his knees for a taste of you." . . . Elio Nott is perhaps one of the most well-known bachelors in the Wizarding World. He's dashing, charming, and never serious. Which is why when Elio turns twenty-three with no signs of settling down, his parents decide to force him into the world of pureblood balls and matchmaking, much to his chagrin. The only perks are the *many* elegant females and, perhaps, the spiked punch. Elio hates it all. Until he goes to the stupid Malfoy Masquerade Ball only to find the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. But before he can even get her name, she disappears. Annalise Riddle is quiet, slow to trust, and prefers the company of her piano to one of her peers any day. As the daughter of the Dark Lord, she is constantly in danger so Annie spends her days shyly hidden away for fear of being harmed by one of his many enemies. So she isn't expecting to go to a ball and meet a stunning boy with grey eyes and a charming grin that takes away all of her defenses. Panicking, Annie leaves and vows to never see him again. Until he shows up another night to search for her. A Game of Cat and Mouse tells of a woman afraid of love and a man so determined to have her that he will stop at nothing. This book contains instant attraction, billionaire-esque playboy MMC, a sprinkle of dark romance, cinderella retelling, brother's rival, "he falls first AND harder", forced proximity, and lots of male pining. This is a spinoff of the Slytherin Boys series. It is recommended that you read my books Smoke & Stars and Darkness & Devotion for an idea of the character's parents and their backstories, though it is not required. This story does NOT take place at Hogwarts!

In a world of predictable stories, this particular one is anything but... Daphne Jackson, unemployed and unmarried, was forced into a nuisance. And as headstrong as she can be, she was in no control over what dangers she has been tangled into. Aurelio Romano's rather ominous business forced him into New York, but because of his nationality he could get caught and deported back to Italy where further investigation would lead them to find everything. He goes to immense measures to ensure his cover of innocence, security and legalism. As Daphne get's more and more involved, hidden mysteries become solved and the ugly truth surfaces. A powerful Mafia leader and a pertinacious young woman. What could possibly go wrong? ------------ Daphne sucked a breath when she found herself trapped underneath the muscular Aurelio. He looked her deep into the eyes and bend down lower into her neck. "This is what you wanted, yes?" She shivered underneath his weight and lifted her hands up to his chest. Suddenly the playful mood in her was all gone. His hand caressed her thigh up to her hip, and it didn't help much that she was in very short shorts and her shirt had ridden up halfway in the fuss. She felt his... every ...touch. Oh, how she had the urge to kiss the man right now, but she couldn't move. She had never been in this situation with a guy before. Much less a one like Aurelio. He looked at her, like really looked at her. It felt to Daphne like he was staring into her soul. What was he going to do now that he had her trapped? "You have my attention Daphne. Now what?"
