The rules at The Club were simple: Keep your mouth shut. Keep your mouth shut. Keep your mouth shut. This was a rule Starr Fields could follow. After searching for years, she finally found what she thought was home. A place where she could go in, keep a bar between her and the customers, pour drinks, make good money, and go home. A place where she didn’t have to worry about her mama’s boyfriends thinking she was fair game. A place where she could simply be.
Bryant Harrison was new to Karim, Texas. After years of moving around and buying one company after another, he threw a dart on a map and decided to move his home base from New York City to where it landed. Now he had every failing business man in town trying to get him to take their problems away.
One glance was all it took for these two to know this was going to be more than a casual meeting. Their feelings were growing quickly as the air became crisp and the leaves changed color. As Halloween approaches, it would seem the unknown monster that hunted Starr wasn’t going to just watch from the shadows for much longer.
Can Bryant be her Knight in Shining Armor and save her in time, or will she slip away as quickly as they fell in love?

There are, after all, some things Ethan can’t control, who to fall in love with is one of them.

Cynthia—Cyn, as most people thought of her—made a habit of using her beauty and charm to get what she wanted. Not quite Human and not quite Meta, she was a cross-breed whose origins were muddy. She was an outcast no one trusted fully.
Caught by a ruthless clan, she needed to buy her freedom with a priceless, and stolen, artifact from a warring tribe. Failure guaranteed her sale to the highest bidder.
Fandare spent his long life in laissez-faire pursuit of whatever grabbed his interests. As long as his clan was taken care of, being second in command gave him more freedom than his brother Lucian. Nearing the end of their two years on the Complex, their black market business was bringing in more money than they had hoped for. But even all the money in the galaxy wasn’t enough to interest Fandare. Bored, he started counting down the days until they could go home.
But things always got interesting when Fandare got bored. And this time, his boredom landed squarely on the elusive Cyn.
As Cyn's time starts running out to gain her freedom, the last thing she needs is the complication of Fandare.
There’s no escaping love when magic decides two souls belong to each other.
