About this book
Morgan Darkraven sold her goth aesthetic online by day and her body to survive by night. Sleeping in her car, dodging her drug-addled mother and football coach father, the nineteen-year-old has learned that dignity is a luxury she can't afford. Then she meets the one man who makes her want to be more than just a survivor.
Sully O'Sullivan isn't just any widowed shopkeeper. The Irish chaos magic practitioner guards an ancient power node beneath his occult shop, serves supernatural clients from vampires to werewolves, and commands respect from creatures that would terrify most humans. When he learns Morgan is homeless and hunted, he makes a dangerous decision: take her under his wing as his apprentice. But to truly protect her, he must bring her under his roof, where his son already dreams of having her in his bed.
Sean O'Sullivan wants his best friend to want him back. The football player has been protecting Morgan, letting her sleep in his arms, dreaming of more. But when she reveals her sex work in brutal detail and discovers what really gets him off, she offers him something else: friends with benefits, on her terms, where he'll beg for every degrading moment she allows.
Magic is real, and Morgan is drowning in it. The chaos node shows her terrifying visions of an armored woman in a coffin, demanding to be found. She learns to brew potions that explode in her face, serves tea to demons and hags, and wears a choker given by the monster who lives in the shadows. It's a protective gift that required a terrible sacrifice. But the most dangerous magic might be whatever keeps pulling her and Sully together.
Three hearts locked in an impossible dance under one roof. Sean craves what Morgan won't give. Morgan burns for the man who says "no" even as his hands say "yes." And Sully, who swears he won't cross that line, keeps finding reasons to break his own rules. During thunderstorms, after rituals, in moments when control shatters and bodies collide, they discover that some hungers can't be contained by willpower alone.
Dark, explicit, and addictively twisted: welcome to The Morrigan series, where ancient Irish magic meets modern desire, and a goth girl's initiation into the supernatural world will change everything she thought she knew about power, pleasure, and protection.
