If I Let Go; Aglain

When the dark finally drags you into the light, there is nowhere left to hide. Teneja Santiago had a simple dream: own a cozy bookstore, mind her business, and live out her best life as the ultimate bookstore cat lady. After grinding for ten brutal years at a dead-end nine-to-five, she finally saved enough cash to buy her dream shop. She was ready to cut ties with her overbearing parents and the entire overbearing Numinous system. Because at the end of the day, Teneja is an Orisha Witch. She spent her whole existence running from a pitch-black ancestral line that constantly tried to drag her into a dark place in magic she never wanted to go. She conquered her past. Or so she thought. Then he walked into her shop, and her entire five-year plan went straight up in smoke.With just one single, earth-shattering kiss, the quiet life Teneja built was obliterated. Enter Aglain McGinnis. He isn't just another customer—he's an ancient Druid Shaman turned vampire, and he sees right through Teneja's bookstore-owner disguise to the raw, terrifying power hiding underneath. Aglain has been carrying a devastating, centuries-old curse, and Teneja's rare magic is the only thing on earth that can break it.The chemistry between them is explosive, promising a love that could rewrite supernatural history. But they are running on borrowed time. Aglain needs to claim his witch and unlock their combined power before the Numinous realizes exactly what Teneja is—because if the Council gets their hands on her first, they will turn her into the ultimate weapon. For a full list of trigger warnings and content levels, please visit the author's official website.
