BLURB

With the ability to take away heartbreak, Tulya Vegga learned early how to mend shattered souls. One touch from her palm could make someone whole again. On the magical island of Rubia, it was her gift…and her curse. Bound to her mother’s will, Tulya was never meant for happiness—only service.

Donovan Malachite was the opposite: he could inflict pain without lifting a finger. One look could send a zing up anyone’s spine. Feared and revered as a ruthless businessman, Donovan was groomed to inherit his father’s empire and carry out his mother’s calculated plans. He’d never admit his quiet fascination with his innocent neighbor, Tulya.

But when his brother, Magnum, falls in love with a forbidden human, Donovan is forced to accompany Tulya on a mission to “fix” the situation.

They set out to right someone else’s wrong.

Instead, they break all the rules.

And maybe…each other.

Aria Rialta is a girl of two realities. One she was born to. The other she was chosen for. Both are a threat.

Every night when Aria falls asleep, she enters the nightmare world of Faydor to fight a war. It’s her calling to help destroy the Kruen, who feed sin and chaos to our everyday world of vulnerable humans. It would be a lonely realm in which to do battle if not for Pax, Aria’s dangerously irresistible soulmate whose mere touch can kill. It’s also a realm that’s getting harder to escape.

Aria’s hallucinations are seeping into her waking world. And the Kruen are coming for her. To help Aria, Pax must do what no one in Faydor has dared to do before—join his soulmate in the light of day. Giving in to their forbidden attraction could be the death of them, but they might not be able to stop themselves as they embark on a cross-country journey to fight the evils hunting them.

As their desire grows, so do Aria’s untapped powers, and a menacing new force far darker than the Kruen.
