In the city of Ashgrave, where skyscrapers loom over cobblestones and the air tastes of smoke and secrets, neutrality is a fragile illusion.
Elara Keene, a self-taught witch, keeps her sanctuary alive in the form of a hidden bar: The Hound's Tooth, a place where vampires, wolves, witches, and mortals sit side by side-so long as no one draws blood. At her side stands Malachi Ward, the demon bartender bound to her by contract, whose sharp tongue and sharper smile conceal truths no one dares ask about.
But in Ashgrave, whispers travel faster than light, and fate lingers like a match ready to strike. The bar is more than a refuge-it is a fulcrum where power balances, where bonds unravel, and where shadows grow teeth.
When darkness slips out of Lantern Walk and begins to coil closer, Elara and Malachi must face the one rule of Ashgrave everyone pretends not to believe in...
...Fate always finds you.

Her Beast
Everyone in the town of Ashwood had heard the stories. For generations, whispers of a Beast in the woods echoed through quiet kitchens and over flickering campfires. It was said to prowl the dense forest that circled the town like a watchful wall. No one had ever seen its face-only its outline. A hulking silhouette, barely distinguishable from the darkness itself, always watching, always just out of reach. Sometimes it appeared under the light of a full moon, lingering at the edge of vision before vanishing again for years. And when it returned, it brought a hush with it. Birds would fall silent. Dogs would cower. Shadows seemed to grow longer, colder. Most of Ashwood scoffed at the legends now. They called it a ghost story for children, a tale told to keep teenagers from wandering too far. But the ones who knew better-the ones who had seen the shadow moving between the trees-felt the truth in their bones. The Beast was real. And whatever it was waiting for, it was coming closer. But Zoey knew, he was coming for her. Romance Fantasy Novel A book full of romance, secrets, prophecies and much more!!Complete
