Because no matter how carefully he hides it, people are starting to notice.
And the truth about a person always costs something

FORBIDDEN NIGHT
"You cannot run from me," he murmured, his cold, judging eyes piercing through her with a paralyzing chill. "You are the cure I've been searching for, and you know exactly how I get what I wish for." Aelira's breath hitched, but she met his gaze with a look that hardened from terror into pure, iron-willed defiance. "Go to hell." A predatory smirk touched his lips. He reached out, his fingers tracing the line of her jaw as he tilted her chin upward. "I would gladly go there," he whispered, his voice a low, dangerous vibration. "I would tell the devil himself how intoxicating your fire is, even as it threatens to consume me. I would die by your blade just to see that look in your eyes one last time." When two opposites collide, can they truly exist in the same orbit? She was woven from the threads of life and healing; he was a monument to shadow and the end of all things. In a world balancing on the edge of a blade, they were two forces destined either to shatter one another or to forge something far more dangerous in the wreckage.

BETWEEN LIFE AND YOU
When Alex moves into his new apartment, the last thing he expects is a girl who doesn't know her name - one only he can see, one who can't touch anything, one who vanishes without warning and reappears like she never left. Emma knows one thing: this apartment was her home. Everything else - her name, her past, her people - is gone. Together they search for answers. What they find is both simpler and more impossible than either of them expected: Emma isn't dead. She's in a coma in a hospital across the city, caught between two worlds - the one where her body lies still and the one where only one person can see her. As Alex visits her bedside and Emma haunts his apartment, the distance between them becomes the most real thing either has ever felt. Some connections don't wait for the right circumstances. Between Life and You is a slow-burn romantic drama about memory, survival, and what it means to be seen by exactly the right person at exactly the wrong time.Complete
