The son of the Minister of the Interior finds himself in a place with no electricity, no running water, and no escape. But in this prison of his family's making, Tomás discovers something unexpected: purpose. As teacher, healer, and advocate for the powerless villagers of La Corona, he navigates the impossible space between guerrillas, the oil company, and the military. When rebels repeatedly sabotage the nearby pipeline, toxic oil floods the river that sustains the town, and Tomás becomes the only voice fighting for people who have none. Then Felix Amaral arrives—a Brazilian engineer working with the cleanup crew—and for the first time in years, Tomás glimpses the possibility of love. Suddenly, he's summoned back to Bogotá to join peace negotiations that could end the war. But returning to the family that rejected him means confronting his past. In a land where survival demands compromise and silence, can Tomás claim both love and purpose—or must he sacrifice one to save the other? A powerful story of love, of identity, of resilience, and of finding family in the most unexpected places.

Summary: “I have watched you from afar for so long. ‘Tis only fitting, as I breathe my last, that I do it in the arms I’ve longed to feel around my person for two plus years or more.” Rojan Purchanting, Pirate Captain, and half-brother to the King of Gunkermal didn’t mean to blurt out fateful words as he stumbled into Petrov after a disagreement with a knife. But the Goddess of the Moon and Sea works in mysterious ways. Rojan soon found Petrov following him out of castle windows, into houses of ill-repute, and riding beside him as they chase down the threats to Caspian and Nikolas, still bristling with the innate confidence and protectiveness that had caught Rojan’s eyes years before. “I’m going to work on keeping the foolhardy man alive first. Anything else we’ll count as a bonus.” Petrov, Duke of Moorland has been a confidant and friend to King Consort Nikolas for most of his life. He really didn’t need to be following around Caspian’s half-brother, hoping the fool man wouldn’t get himself into more trouble. But somehow, it quickly became all he wanted to do. It’s the only thing left I can do. Determined to keep Rojan safe by any means possible, Petrov decides the only way to do that is to enter into a Marriage Contract with him. But as the danger to Caspian and Nikolas gets closer to home, Petrov wonders if he’ll ever know the true Rojan Purchanting. Would he be pirate captain, prince, or king?

But Philip agrees to keep Amory at the palace, where they gradually become friends, then lovers.

Neither Amory nor Philip imagined falling in love, and they certainly don’t expect what those who oppose their relationship will do to keep them apart—maybe even resorting to murder.

Summary: There’s nothing more dangerous than a bored vampire. Doctor Anthony Channon, commonly known as Ant, was still struggling after his sister's abduction and what he perceived as a gross betrayal by the police captain he'd been used to working for. In theory, he should've been enjoying time off from his time as a police consultant, and lecturer at the Mage Academy. But that wasn't easy to do when his fated mate, Viktor couldn't seem to sit still for five minutes. “What the hell did you do that for?” Viktor scowled, dabbing at the blood welling up from a knife cut in his shirt. “I’m supposed to be having lunch with my mate in less than thirty minutes, and now I have to find a new shirt.” Viktor was bored with a capital B. Not with his mate, never with his mate, but Viktor was used to living in the thick of things and life with Ant wasn't like that. When he gets a random call, asking him to meet someone in an alley, it was tempting to ignore it... but did I mention Viktor was bored? A knife to the guts later and Viktor might come to regret his impulsive decision, especially when Ant found out. “Why would I want to meet Carmine Doukas? I’ve already met him. I don’t need to do that again.” It appears that Ant's reputation has changed since taking down Tony Manzano, and another "Family Man" Carmine Doukas thinks that having Viktor and Ant on his team is a good idea. Dangling a carrot in the form of a historic murder case under Ant's nose, and he's intrigued despite Viktor's warnings. But as the rabbit hole gets deeper and solving the murder seems almost impossible, have Ant and Viktor finally been manipulated a step too far? The Psychic and the Vampire: A bad case of vampire curiosity is the sequel to The Psychic and the Vampire. To get the most out of this story, it would be best to have read book one first.
