📚 Book 1 of a completed 2-book series
When a private investigator gets hired to track down a dangerous Prime—a fire-wielding magic user operating at the highest level—she quickly realizes she's in way over her head. Enter Connor "Mad" Rogan, a devastatingly powerful (and ridiculously rich) mage who kidnaps her, claims he needs her help with the same case, and somehow makes the terrifying situation feel irresistible. As Nevada and Rogan navigate their explosive attraction and the deadly case threatening to consume them both, she discovers that surrendering to someone this dangerous might be the smartest—and most thrilling—decision she's ever made. Welcome to a dark, magic-soaked romance where the real danger isn't the villain you're hunting... it's how badly you want the mysterious man hunting alongside you.
Reading soundtrack
Dark urban fantasy meets dangerous attraction—moody indie and atmospheric synth-pop with an edge. Think sultry vocals over brooding instrumentals, paranormal tension wrapped in slow-burn chemistry. Mix ethereal magic vibes with gritty modern tension. Artists like Purity Ring, The Neighbourhood, and CHVRCHES capture this intoxicating blend of power and vulnerability.
