    Summary

    “What are you doing in my room?” Rey demanded. The words shook despite her attempt to sound strong. She supposed it didn’t matter how she sounded, though. She was cowering on the floor, after all—as far away as she could get from this intruder.
    He returned his black-eyed attention to her and a sardonic grin spread across his roguish face. It could’ve been an oddly human expression, if it weren’t for the sharpened canines it exposed in his mouth.
    “Tell me, pretty thing,” he said, his voice smoky and alluring, “do I fucking look like I know?”

     

    Rey just wants to feel a sense of belonging. So she casts a spell to give herself exactly that. Only, she’s not the best witch. And the spell summoned a hot, annoying demon to her bedroom. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    After a fire leaves her with nothing but ashes and a forgotten betrothal, Rey is sent from India to the cold, echoing halls of Wrenwick Manor. The engagement is nearly a year overdue, and her intended—Lord Solo—is a man carved by war, more specter than savior. The marriage should have been voided, but he never withdrew the offer.

    Yorkshire is bleak. The manor, bleaker still. And yet beneath its withering silence, something begins to stir. A memory. A hunger. A seed of something half-dead pushing through frostbitten soil.

    He is running from a past soaked in blood. She is clinging to a version of this place that may never have existed.

    Somewhere between locked doors and shadowed halls, they begin to bloom—darkly, desperately, beautifully.

    A gothic romance about what survives the burn. About the ache to be known, and the terror of being seen. About roots that tangle… and rot.

    Summary

    ~~COMPLETE~~

    While waiting for his blind date, Ben Solo claimed he would rather kiss a pig than ever go back out with his ex-girlfriend. It was too bad his blind date misunderstood who he was referencing as she approached the table.

    That was the last Ben would see of the mysterious woman, or so he thought until he found out she was the woman in charge of his school's fundraiser.

    Sunshine Rey's Runathon was Rey Johnson's pride and joy. Once she realized the principal was none other than the man who had insulted her, she decided to make his life a living hell while preparing New Hope Elementary for a fun run in each grade.

    Despite their rough start and determination to hate one another, they can't help but find an ever-growing attraction.

    What happens when Rey realizes she was wrong? Will Ben forgive and forget? What helps them grow past this rough start?
