Accidental Alchemy

As an intern for the world's only supernatural library, it's my job to make sure nothing inside the books gets out. Unfortunately, I suck at it. Blame it on too much pumpkin spice, but one rainy afternoon, I somehow manage to conjure a literal book boyfriend. Aries is fire. And I mean that in the very real sense of the word. Not just the ripped abs and a jaw that could cut steel, but the fire-breathing, flame-inducing, might-burn-this-freaking-building-to-the-ground kind of heat. The attraction between us is undeniable. The danger? Even more tangible.

Let's be honest. I suck at my job . . . so naturally the supernatural library I work for just promoted me. The fact that it comes on the heels of losing the one person who has been there my entire life merely adds insult to injury. Aries is still here, though. At my side. In my bed. Risking his life and the survival of his world to bring my broken family back together. But the danger that lurks inside these walls is far from over.

I was supposed to be planning my wedding, not a war. But here we are. Escaping Constantine should have been the end of our troubles, but instead, it feels like the calm before the storm. Back in Astronia, the horde is tearing through everything, and I'm stuck trying to figure out how my magic works—fast. No pressure, right? Aries is still by my side, the dragon king who's stolen my heart and set my world on fire—literally. But Constantine isn't done with us. Not by a long shot. And the trail of destruction and loss in my wake isn't exactly a confidence boost.
