Desire says something else entirely.
In the neon-lit city of Larkspur, magic is regulated, tracked, and punished without mercy. Mara Vex enforces those laws with precision and restraint-because breaking them once cost her everything. As a Luminari enforcer, she believes order is the only thing standing between the city and chaos.
Kael Rhyse lives on the other side of the line.
An Umbra outlaw with shadow magic and a talent for surviving systems designed to erase people like him, Kael knows the rules are rigged. He breaks them anyway-until one disastrous encounter throws him directly into Mara's path.
They're supposed to hunt each other.
They're forbidden to touch.
And yet, when their magic collides, it does something no one thought possible.
Every meeting leaves a trace.
Every choice pulls them closer to a line neither can afford to cross.
As tensions between rival factions ignite and the city teeters on the edge of collapse, Mara and Kael are forced into an impossible position: uphold a law built on control-or burn it down to save the people trapped beneath it. But love is dangerous in a world that watches everything, and the closer they grow, the more lethal the consequences become.
Because in Larkspur, crossing the wrong line doesn't just get you punished.
It gets you erased.
Lines We Cross is a steamy, slow-burn urban fantasy romance featuring enemies to lovers, forbidden desire, razor-sharp banter, and explosive chemistry set against a rain-soaked neon city. Perfect for readers who crave touch-starved tension, I can't want you angst, and romance where every kiss carries a cost.
