fantasyromance
In the quietude of Maple Hollow, where the veil between realms grows thin, Randi's life takes an unexpected turn. At just 14, she encounters Harry-an enigmatic figure who defies mortal boundaries. He is no ordinary man; rather, he straddles the line between demon and spirit, his existence spanning centuries. Their fateful meeting sets in motion a tale of forbidden love, woven with threads of magic and danger.
Synopsis:
Randi, with her unruly black curls and a body that defies society's norms, is drawn to Harry like a moth to a forbidden flame. His age-120 years-only adds to the mystery that surrounds him. But it's not his age that captivates her; it's the way he exists beyond sight, a presence she can feel but never fully see. In the mortal realm, they share stolen moments, their connection growing stronger with each whispered word and lingering touch.
Yet, Harry's origins are far from ordinary. He hails from a royal lineage-the shadowed court of spirits and demons.

As he catches up to me, he grabs my arm swings me around and with one swift movement he ushers me into a nearby empty classroom with the lights off. He cages me in against the wall. His close proximity is making me dizzy and my mind is thinking very dirty thoughts. Wait no. I can't think like that anymore. "Kendall." He says hungrily. "You are mine and only mine. You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine. "..or touch you." He says as he takes his hand and brushes it lightly down my arm and he snakes it back around my back pulling me even closer if that is possible. He finally stops at my ass which he squeezes delightfully and I hum in response. Warning: Contains graphic sexual content. Read at your own discretion. You will not be warned ahead of time.

The townspeople warn that the forest is haunted, urging everyone to stay far from its shadowy borders. Lily, a daring 19-year-old who has never believed in old tales, sneaks into the woods one night, driven by her unshakable curiosity. There, she meets Kael, a mysterious and brooding figure whose life has been marred by a curse that forced him into isolation. Kael, now 23, lives alone in a secluded cabin, hiding behind a mask that conceals the skeletal half of his face. To his surprise, Lily isn't frightened by his appearance-she sees past the curse to the man he truly is. As the two grow closer, their bond begins to challenge the very beliefs that have kept Kael isolated for years. But the curse that haunts Kael runs deeper than anyone in the town knows.
