(First draft - unedited)Evangeline Winterbourne thrives on the unknown.Driven by an unrelenting curiosity, she has spent her life chasing what history tried to erase. Unearthing ancient knowledge, deciphering forgotten languages, and dragging buried civilizations back into the light.Discovery is what she does best.It has never failed her.Until one expedition does more than leave its mark.Deep within a dense forest, Evangeline and her team uncover an ancient temple tied to a lost civilization. What they find inside refuses to stay buried. Whatever stirred there follows her home, settling beneath her skin, awakening something long dormant.Because Evangeline is not entirely human.Drakonian blood runs through her veins, a fractured legacy passed down through generations. Heightened strength. Accelerated healing. A heritage she never fully understood.Until now.As strange coincidences begin to stack and ancient artifacts whisper of memory and chaos, Evangeline realizes the past isn't finished with her. An ancient presence is stirring, one bound to her blood and to the choices her curiosity keeps leading her to.And it wants to be found.…

It was supposed to be simple.One mission.One target.Substantial compensation.Instead, two elite assassins from rival organizations show up with the same assignment, the same instincts, and wildly inconvenient chemistry.Ezra and Elaine had everything planned and organized.The guests. Fake, but whatever.The food. Which they did not get to eat. Tragic.One dreamy gown. Ruined by an idiot who also smashed their wedding cake.Oh. And the bullets.Because when you make a living pulling triggers, it is only fair that the past shows up armed.Now the guest list is bleeding, the vows are under fire, and the mission they thought they understood is unraveling into something far bigger than either of them signed up for.Turns out, when your love language is violence, your happily ever after comes fully loaded.----[First draft - unedited]…
