About the book
A Briar universe standalone romance featuring the next generation Off-Campus characters—where one unforgettable summer changes everything.
After a brutal breakup, college junior Blake Logan escapes to her family’s lake house in Tahoe, determined to shut out the world. Her plan is simple: no men, no drama. Until Wyatt Graham shows up. Four years older and far too good at getting under her skin, Wyatt is the living embodiment of a “bad idea,” and the guy who shattered her pride when she confessed her crush at sixteen.
With his music career stalled, Wyatt has come to Tahoe for inspiration. The last thing he expects is to find it with Blake. He’s spent years keeping his distance, convinced he’s all wrong for her, but she’s no longer the innocent girl he once knew. She’s confident, captivating, and impossible to ignore. And the slow-burning tension between them? It’s catching fire fast.
They both know this can’t last, but one reckless kiss turns into another, and soon they’re tangled in something that feels dangerously like more. Just as they finally give in to the pull, tragedy tears them apart, leaving their hearts in pieces.
But forgetting that one, nearly perfect summer? Not a chance. And when fate brings them together again, Blake and Wyatt must decide if this is a second chance…or the final verse.

About the book
Howl’s Moving Castle meets From Blood and Ash in this romantasy about a recluse who paid a terrible price for his dangerous magic and the woman sent to steal it from him.
He's a fugitive with stolen magic and a cat. She's hunting him. Falling for him was not part of the plan.
Three years at the Towers of Silver City, and Kira still can't awaken her magic. She's running out of chances to prove herself. So when she's offered one last mission to hunt the fugitive who killed a god, she takes it.
All she has to do is get close to the godkiller. Gain his trust. And bring him back to the Towers.
But Reznyk isn't the monster she expected. He's traumatized, protective, and impossibly gentle with her. And the longer they're together—traveling through dangerous terrain, sharing secrets, and playing drinking games that lead to so much more—the harder it gets to remember which side she's supposed to be on.
Reznyk has been hiding in the Dagger Mountains for years, trying to outrun the memory of what he did and the magic he can't control. When mercenaries find him, he goes undercover in their camp, ready to fight or flee.
Until he meets Kira. She's everything he's not—hopeful, passionate, and determined. And the more time he spends with her, the more he wants to protect her from the Towers that sent her.
Even if it means sacrificing himself.
A steamy, emotional romantasy about found family, redemption, and falling for the person you're supposed to capture.
Perfect for readers who love: he falls first, found family, Howl's Moving Castle vibes, miscommunication done right, FMC who doesn't need magic to be a badass, guaranteed HEA.
