Selene D'Arsen, a skilled thief, is hired to infiltrate the cursed estate of Lord Kael Veyrath, a man bound by an ancient pact with death. Rumors swirl that Kael is immortal, trapped between life and death, and his manor is a prison for the souls he cannot escape. As Selene uncovers the secrets of Kael's dark past, she finds herself drawn to him in ways she never expected.
Despite her mission to betray him, Selene's growing feelings for Kael blur the line between duty and desire. The more she learns, the more she questions her loyalty-especially as the Order that hired her reveals its true intentions. As Kael's curse intensifies, Selene must choose between saving him or letting the shadows consume them both.
The Shadows Between Us is a tale of forbidden love, dark magic, and the dangerous pull between light and darkness.

SEX AND SINS (The Alpha's Forbidden Claim)
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. RATED 18+. 90% STEAMY Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat.

Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.
