An orphan girl makes a living for herself and her little sister, Uma, by pickpocketing off the streets of Manhattan, New York.  However, her whole life flips upside down when a stranger knocks on her door one morning and tells her she isn't human-- she's Fae. 

------------- 
     He was not human. Definitely not from around here with his tailored suit and clean face and horrifyingly captivating accent. His voice, his eyes... I didn't listen to much folklore, but he would've fit the character of the Devil perfectly. 
    As I stared at his grim, devastatingly handsome face, I couldn't help but wonder if this was my end. The Devil coming to repay the Girl of Many Deaths with one final death; hers. How fitting. 
     I wonder if they'll call my death an accident or suicide.
     "Let's do this the easy way. You need to try and understand me for that to happen, though." The man's voice morphed into an unwanted caress, gliding over my bare skin and burrowing into my head. "I'm Draven, a Fae from a mirror realm known by our kind as Anukatria. I've come to take you back into the lands which birthed you."
     I instantly regained use of my mouth. "I'm sorry, what?"
     "You are Fae. A powerful one at that, might I add. The fire you set yesterday altered our nation to your presence, and I was sent with an offer to train you, from the High King himself. To protect you from further such... incidents." His eyes narrowed ever so slightly. "Should you choose to accept."

Very gently- her soft lips brush against mine. My eyes flutter closed and I lean back in, smiling. "Nyx, I swear to god, you are going to kill me one day" "What do you mean...?" "Forget it, you already have." ★★★★★ Nyx doesn't want the life she was given at birth. She's a fighter, not a pretty little object that needs saving. Kiran should have never been taken. He's never been a fighter, he acted more like a prince than a knight. When Nyx Maskousky was taken as a young child, she was raised as a thief, but more importantly, as a fighter. But there's a catch: she has to dress like a man, or she's immediately thrown in a cell to rot, where every fragment of her freedom will be gone- ruined. Kiran Taner was taken, along with three other children at eleven, and like everyone else, was raised as a thief. But just as the universe had seemed to want, he's never been strong enough, and has to spend long hours every evening with a woman he can't hide feelings from- Nyx Maskousky. But with a horrible twist of fate, Nyx and Kiran was caught- however not by the exterminators, but by the Trial judges- who put both of them together in the them. However, if they find out that Nyx isn't a man- her whole life will be torn apart, and she will be locked up, or worse, killed. And the trials will easily be Kiran's end, for how strong everyone else is, yet how weak he was. And with a terrible level of self control, Kiran needs to keep his feelings from Nyx for as long as he can. Or that could be his downfall.

*His eyes were the first thing I noticed as he looked up at me. Such a dark blue they reminded me of sapphires. My heart jumped at the feel of them as he held my gaze. I was in a trance unable to look away and it was as if he could see into the very soul that gave my body life. My skin crawled with goosebumps as his eyes changed from curious to predatory in a matter of moments. A shudder passing through me as my heart beat faster. He could see me. Like really see me and I cringed at the gut wrenching fear that ran through me, watching as his tongue ran smoothly over his lips. He looked like a predator about to hunt his prey. Me being that prey. His grin was intimidating as he spoke to the boy next to him and began to come my way.* Lacey Yasmine just moved to the small town of Moonlight Creek with her aunt seeking new lives in a place where they could start over.

The scars, telling horrifying stories. Lips, spreading lies to survive under the sun. A thin body, kissed by bruises and tattoos, that knows what deprivation and violence mean. Dark brown eyes that have seen a bit too many pools of blood. A squinted gaze of an observer, encountering the condemning eyes of strangers who were superior in many aspects. Pale skin, unbothered by the sun for three decades. If I still had pronounced canine teeth, I could qualify for a vampire role in some silly movie in that revered box of changing images. Life didn't fight for me, so I put all my efforts into my meaningless existence under the sun, pretending to be what I always was-invisible. You guessing how I got here? By storm. That's me, a sarcastic Ghost filled with cynicism, who became human a decade ago and lived without a damned birth certificate until I got behind bars upon reaching adulthood. Now, on the brink of freedom, I'm entangled in a mission that could save my soul-or damn it forever. Then came Rosy Cheeks, the wildcard who changed all the rules. With a laugh that echoed like bells in a windstorm and eyes that saw right through my cynical facade, he was a beacon in my dark world. His mere presence forced me to confront parts of myself I had long buried. He shattered my defenses with his genuine warmth and relentless hope, traits I had thought extinct in this cruel world. In this gritty, pulse-pounding tale of survival, deception, and reluctant heroism, one question lingers: Can a ghost ever truly find redemption, or are some spirits doomed to wander eternally in the shadows? With Rosy Cheeks by my side, everything changes. The stakes have never been higher, and the journey has never been more uncertain. Will I find the light, or will the darkness reclaim me? Join me in this journey, where every choice matters and every soul can be saved-or lost. Perhaps together, we'll discover whether even the most cynical of ghosts can find a spark of light in the abyss. +18 MM romance

Dark romance forced proximity Updated weekly Wednesday Smut containing chapters will have 🔥 in title His rough, husky breath whispered in my ear, "Now, what's a girl like you doing at a time like this?" I refused to answer him as I continued to try and break out of his iron-like grip. "Let me go," I whispered breathlessly. I felt the vibration of his laugh on my back. "Now, why would I do that little one? You're mine." ''Wh-what n-n-no you're not let me go now," I said as I dug my fingernails into his forearms. His calm composure was gone as he slammed my body against a nearby wall. I whimpered lightly. He responded roughly. "I'm not going to say this again, little one. You are testing my patience. I'm not afraid to put you in your place. You aren't leaving me; you are mine!!! Do I make myself clear?!!!" I felt tears stream down my face as I responded with a nob. He didn't seem pleased with this "answer with your words, dammit," he screamed. "Yeah, I understand, I said shakily. He smiled at me, brought his lips up to my check, and kissed me. "Okay, let's go, "he said with a light smile, grabbing my hand in an iron-like grip. A car stopped near me, and he opened the door, trying to pull me in. I quickly came to the realization what was happening, and I ran away from him. However, he easily caught me and threw me over his shoulder. I pounded my fist against his back. It seemed to unfase him as he threw me, closed the door, and looked hard at me. I sank down at his glare. "Go, Andrew," the strange man called out. After a while, his anger seemed to dial down, and he then sighed, running his hand through his brown hair.
