Dark & Smutty High Romantasy

Contemporary Romance

Logan and I should break up.
We’re not good together anymore, and staying in a relationship that’s already dead in the water is stagnance. I know that.
But forward movement is scary and backward movement is mortifying.
Change in all direction is just so damn daunting.
So, I’m standing still like a deer in the headlights, waiting for the truck to hit.
I know what you’re thinking— Leo, that’s a dumb way to die—and you’d be right. I could make excuses for my behavior—talk about how I wasn’t born into the kind of emotional stability that enables healthy decision making. Blame it all on my dad and martyr myself faster than he decided to leave me in my alcoholic mother’s care after I was born. I could pin it on my 19 years and a general lack of experience, but I’m self-aware enough to know it’s my choices that have put me in this position.
It’s my choices that have me avoiding the inevitable with Logan.
And it’s my choices that have me standing in the metaphorical street, staring down his brother’s cherry red pickup truck like a game of unilateral chicken.
I know what’s right, and why letting myself get more and more tangled up with a man that’s 16 years my senior is wrong. But that doesn’t change his trajectory, or mine. And even though this head-on collision might be disastrous, I can’t seem to move out of the way.

Two immortal creatures. One dangerous bargain.
After the death of her mother, Aheia finds herself stained by more blood than she can hide in the perpetual daylight of her home of Keloseros. She escapes the realm but pays the price: giving up her immortality and her powers–once a Mithra with light at her fingertips, she becomes near-mortal. Her desperate search for asylum leads her to the doorstep of the only place out of her abusive family’s reach—a realm that deals in death and darkness unapologetically—Aljira
But nothing in this world is free, and to buy her way to dubious safety, she’s forced to give up the only thing she has left to barter.
Her soul in exchange for seven days in the devil's realm.
Arioch, the ruler of the Nephilim, is eager to dangle his new little pet in front of the Mithra who have caused irreparable damage in his life, but he doesn’t expect the effect Aheia’s soul has on both of them once it's stamped on his arm. The pull between them is all-consuming-- they crave each other, between sharp words and angry exchanges in an increasingly passionate bond that threatens to shatter the delicate balance of everything.
Arioch and Aheia...
Keloseros and Aljira…
Even life and death.
