Moth & Flame: A Spicy, Dark, & Sweet Gothic Fantasy Romance Novella (Gothika & The Blackspire Empire)

This novella features explicit *spicy* content and is intended for audiences 18+ only. Draven After serving the Blackspire Empire as a Reaper for the last hundred years, I’ve finally managed to carve out a life of peace for myself—a life that doesn’t involve hunting down the scum of Gothika. That is, until Hella Vex-Nocturni shows up in my k!nk house, and suddenly, I find myself exploiting all the skills I honed as a Reaper… to stalk my own client. Every evening, whether she’s already asleep or just leaving work, I don’t go home until I’ve laid my eyes on her. And while stalking her isn’t exactly the height of professionalism… professional boundaries can get f*cked. This female is my soulbound. Hella Draven Morainu is everything I’ve ever wanted in a male—and yet, he has no idea who I am. After he opens his k!nk house and I discover there’s zero trace of information about its tall, ruggedly handsome, and muscle-bound owner, I seek out the help of Gothika’s most notorious crime lord. It doesn’t take long to learn that stalking isn’t beneath me. Unfortunately, my face is rather recognizable, and if anyone were to catch me patronizing a k!nk house, I’d probably be flayed by my family, ostracized by the public, and then brutally mVrdered by my cheating fiancé—the one I’m being forced to marry.
