    Summary

    Vi squinted at the window, brow furrowing. “You know normal people use IKEA rods, right?”

    Caitlyn’s lips curved faintly, though her eyes never lifted from the page. “Normal people are dreadfully boring.”

    Vi’s hot new roommate may or may not be a vampire.

    Summary

    Sometimes, losing sight reveals more than the eye can see.

    Caitlyn arrives in the quiet countryside, marked by a scar and haunted by shadows she can’t escape. Vi tends to the vines and horses, guarding secrets beneath her guarded gaze.

    In a place where silence speaks louder than words, their paths collide.

    And what begins as escape may uncover truths neither was ready to face.

    After a traumatic injury, Caitlyn is sent away for recovery by medical advice—only to find that healing has many forms, and some of them come with calloused hands and watchful eyes.

    Summary

    “I am a god, Vi,” Caitlyn whispered. “How could you possibly be enarmored with me?”

    “What, does being a god exclude you from having a hot date?” Vi asked, winking. “And you’re a god. Textbook definition says you’re supposed to be loved.”

    Summary

    “Why do you want to get there so badly?” Caitlyn asks, looking at the other woman out of the corner of her eye as she wipes down her gun, trying not to show too much interest. Vi makes a grunting sound, still picking at her nails with the edge of her knife.

    “None of your damn business.”

    Caitlyn huffs. “I’m paying you, so I would certainly say it is my business.”

    “You’re only paying me to lead you into a death trap, princess,” Vi says, putting her feet up on the desk and almost getting mud on Caitlyn’s rifle. “Bedtime stories will cost you extra.”

     

    On a search for a historical myth, Caitlyn and Jayce hire a mercenary off death’s row that claims to have been to the site before. But Vi’s ulterior motives, and the growing attraction between her and Caitlyn, threatens the whole expedition.

    Not to mention the whole curse thing.

    Summary

    “You attacked an enforcer?” Vander slams his hand down on the bar. “What were you thinking, Vi?”
    Vi stands on the other side of the bar, arms folded and angry scowl on her face.
    “He was hurting Cait.”
    “Don't bullshit me-“
    “She looked like one of us! He didn't recognise her; she doesn't know how to deal with enforcers like that.”

    Or, things go a little differently on that fateful day at Jayce's lab and Caitlyn and Vi meet much earlier.
