BOUND BY DECEPTION is a fast-paced adult fantasy romance combining fake dating, morally grey protagonists, and a ghost-whispering heroine who refuses to be anyone's asset.

Set in the richly imagined city of Ashenveil , where a supernatural governing body polices the boundary between the living and the dead , this is the story of Seraphine Calloway, a junior book editor who talks to ghosts and has spent her whole life making herself invisible, and Emrys Vayne, a four-hundred-year-old Faeborn Warden who has spent the same period making himself untouchable.

Their arrangement is tactical. Their chemistry is not.

Featuring an enemies-to-lovers slow burn built on genuine intellectual respect, a ghost intelligence network that delivers the story's most crucial plot twists, supernatural political intrigue across six increasingly high-stakes acts, and a villain whose idealism makes him more terrifying than cruelty ever could.

Perfect for readers who loved the moral complexity of Twisted Love, the atmospheric tension of Haunting Adeline and the slow-burn longing of The Love Hypothesis but wanted all three in a world where the dead have opinions and act on them. Dark. Addictive. Impossible to put down.

The dead are talking. She's finally ready to listen to all of it.

Zane Ashford is football’s most untouchable star , a legendary NFL wide receiver whose career has been built on dominance, control, and ruthless perfection. On the field, he is worshipped. Off it, he is feared. But when a violent locker-room incident threatens to destroy everything he’s spent years building, the league forces him into therapy with the last person he would ever trust: Dr. Solène Voss.
Brilliant, composed, and impossible to intimidate, Solène has made a career out of breaking apart carefully constructed facades to expose the truth underneath and Zane Ashford may be the most dangerous man she has ever faced. Beneath his arrogance lies grief sharp enough to ruin anyone who gets too close.
Their sessions become a battlefield of sharp words, buried trauma, and undeniable attraction. Every confrontation drags them deeper into each other’s darkness until the line between hatred and desire begins to disappear. But Zane’s fame, secrets, and self-destruction threaten to consume them both.
As obsession ignites and emotional walls collapse, Zane and Solène must decide whether love can survive two people determined to destroy themselves first.
Scorched Glory is an intense, emotionally charged sports romance about redemption, vulnerability, obsession, and the terrifying cost of being truly seen.
