Tantalizing crimson eyes and jet black hair were all Lily could remember in the features of the enigmatic young man who saved her ten years ago when she was kidnapped. One day, she accidentally saw him again after ten years in the middle of a busy street in an unexplainable situation. Time froze for few seconds, people around her stopped moving, and in his snap of finger defreezes time, as the car in front of him lose control and crashed with the nearby truck. She was left dazed by what had just happened in front of her. The scene shocked her and triggered her memory of him. "The guy who saved me was no human," she murmured staring blankly, remembering their uncanny encounter a decade ago. "Grim Reaper?" Confusion was written on her face. He shook his head. "Non, I am Doom, and I bring death to people." After the street incident, she couldn't forget his face and his lines kept replaying in her dreams like a broken tape which made her wonder if this was part of the after-effects of her trauma or if it was destiny that aligned their stars to collide.

WARNING: Explicit Content, Trigger Warnings, Adult Eyes only. *** Liliana Larsen has spent years suppressing the trauma of her family’s death, burying it beneath her work as an Ethnocultural Advisor. But when Eamon Quinn—a deadly half-breed werewolf-vampire—enters her life, Liliana’s carefully built world begins to crack. Eamon knows what Liliana doesn’t: she’s a dormant she-wolf, her wolf Skadi bound by powerful witchcraft since birth. Now, that binding is breaking. Liliana’s awakening unleashes a primal bond between them that is as dangerous as it is undeniable. As their connection deepens, so do the threats. Ancient covens with a dark history of hunting Liliana’s bloodline resurface, and a brutal supernatural war is on the horizon. To survive, Liliana must learn to control her wolf—fast. But each step toward control pulls her deeper into Eamon’s dangerous orbit, where pleasure and pain blur, and every instinct demands she surrender to the wild power inside her. As their enemies close in, the only thing more lethal than the forces hunting them is the bond between them—a bond that could either save them or destroy them both.
