After two years in an abusive relationship, Rowan Hale escapes with nothing but scars and a fragile hope for freedom. Filing a report brings him face-to-face with Detective Dante Cross, a man with a cold reputation and shadows of his own.
Rowan is supposed to be just another case. But Dante can't look away, not when Rowan flinches at every sound, not when his pain runs deeper than bruises. Protection turns into something neither of them can deny, even as danger circles closer.
Because Rowan's past isn't finished with him. And Dante will burn every law he's ever sworn to uphold if that's what it takes to keep him safe.

Waning Crescent (manxman) [COMPLETE]
Nox is dying. Marked by a curse no one understands, his once-vibrant birthmark fades with each passing day; an unspoken sentence counting down to his end. Alone on a desolate hillside, exhausted and broken, he clings to the last pieces of his fading life: a letter to his family, a worn sword, and a heart heavy with regret. Then, without warning, a stranger appears. Tall, dark, and silent, the man's arrival is both a mystery and a lifeline. There is something in his sharp, guarded gaze; a flicker of something deeper beneath the surface of his hardened exterior. In the face of death, what begins as wary dependence slowly shifts into something more powerful, an unspoken bond that neither of them expected but both desperately need. In the shadow of a fading curse and the weight of a broken past, Nox and the stranger find themselves drawn together by something neither dared to name. As life grows fleeting, their connection becomes a chance at salvation, not just of the body, but of the heart. Sometimes, love arrives when all seems lost.Complete
