The Collector’s Human Error
"You’re late by forty-two seconds, Miss Cross."
In an urban capital where debts aren't paid in cash—but in stolen memories, talent, and chunks of human lifespans—Vaelin reigns supreme. As the city’s most terrifying collector, he is an ancient shadow primordial who views mortals as nothing more than temporary assets. Cold, calculating, and ruthless.
Lyra Cross is just trying to survive. Broke, exhausted, and desperate to protect her family, she applies for a high-paying secretarial job. She didn't expect her new boss to be a dangerous, non-human entity—and Vaelin certainly didn't expect a fragile mortal to look him in the eye, question his asset valuations, and talk back with absolute impunity.
As they navigate underground casinos and fog-drenched alleyways to collect dangerous collateral, a sharp, slow-burn tension ignites between them. Vaelin has never cared for a mortal life... until her safety is threatened.
Can a creature made of dark void learn to feel—before his past catches up to destroy them both?
