One built a reputation being good at being invisible - getting the job done, and leaving no trace. Maybe too good.
The other restores what everyone else walks past. Old buildings, forgotten facades, the bones of things that are already there - no new complications.
Lara flew in from Singapore expecting sand, sibling arguments, and absolutely nothing else. A visit to her brother at a base in the middle of the Mojave wasn't exactly a holiday - but mundane had its appeal. Nothing she hadn't already accounted for.
Damon has survived things that don't make it into reports. A Singaporean architect expecting a quiet week in the desert was not in any of his files.
Apparently his intel had gaps.
Catching flights and feelings - sometimes you just have to lean into the cliché.

Love Letters & Loyalty
Istanbul, 1820 The scent of jasmine and spices lingered in the warm night air as the Bosphorus reflected the silver glow of the moon. Beyond the palaces and grand mansions, beneath the domes and minarets, the city hummed with life-merchants haggling in the markets, the calls to prayer echoing in the distance, the laughter of noblemen and diplomats filling opulent halls. In one such mansion, illuminated by the golden glow of hundreds of candles, music and conversation swirled through the air. Tonight was a night of politics and diplomacy, of whispered alliances and careful smiles. And yet, among all the powerful men gathered, among all the veiled women moving like delicate shadows through the halls- Two lives were about to collide. Two people who, by every rule of their worlds, should have never met. And yet, destiny had already begun weaving their fates together. Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.

The knife kissed his throat-cold and very precise. ❝Don't move,❞ Morgana's voice said behind him. ❝Not a muscle.❞ Sage froze. He felt her breath at his nape, warm against the blade's promise.She knew exactly where to place a blade. ❝How did you get out of your room?❞ he asked calmly. ❝Step forward.❞ He obeyed. She guided him through the narrow corridor, backing him against stone, trapping him there. The knife pressed closer now-close enough to hurt. ❝Drop your sword.❞ It hit the floor. ❝You're going to get me out,❞ she said. ❝Out of your reach. I don't care where you send me-as long as I never have to see Procris Saxon again.❞ Sage smiled faintly. ❝And why would I do that?❞ The blade bit, just barely. ❝Because if you don't,❞ she said, ❝I finish what I started.❞ Silence coiled between them. Then Sage moved. In a breath, the knife was his. Her back met stone. His forearm blocked her escape, the blade resting beneath her jaw. ❝You bastard,❞ she hissed. ❝Careful,❞ Sage said softly. ❝Any movement, and this becomes... unfortunate.❞ Her pulse fluttered wildly beneath the knife. He felt it. She knew he did. ❝Do it,❞she said. ❝You've wanted to since the day we met.❞ Sage leaned closer,Their eyes locked. ❝Tell me,❞.he said slowly , dangerously,.❝why I shouldn't.❞ *** Power is never inherited cleanly.

After Mercy
"He thought he was the hunter. He didn't know she had nothing left to lose." Trapped within the dark, looming walls of Vaelhorst Palace, Aethelgard is a captive surrounded by enemies. Her survival depends entirely on the mercy of Malakor-a ruthless, hyper-vigilant Dark Lord whose very name strikes terror across the kingdoms. Separated from everything she knows by the treacherous, ink-black waters of The Mourning Tides, escape seems completely impossible. But Malakor underestimates the girl in his shadows. Before sending her to the Dark Lord, the sinister witch known as Pale Marrow ripped away Aethelgard's emotions, leaving her completely hollow. Malakor expects a terrified prisoner, but instead, he faces a mind completely untethered by fear, panic, or mercy. As a dangerous, slow-burn game of wit and proximity unfolds between captive and captor, the lines between hatred and curiosity begin to blur. Aethelgard must use her cold, emotionless clarity to dismantle Malakor's court from the inside-before the magic fades and her feelings come rushing back. A dark fantasy romance filled with royal intrigue, psychological tension, and a toxic power dynamic that will burn down an empire.
