The Mage Bonds of Embermoore

Prince Aidyn of Embermoore wants nothing more than to be treated as a regular person instead of a prince, and experience “normal person things,” like getting called by his first name, being a professional yet approachable boss, and eventually falling in love. Mage Noelle Allendale, Aidyn’s co-worker and long time friend, never wants to fall in love again. She knows all too well that falling things tend to shatter when they hit the ground. As a Memorizer Mage, the crystal clear Recall of her magic doesn’t let her forget anything she feels or encounters, and she’s already experienced enough heartbreak to last a lifetime. As a result, she’s more than happy to keep their relationship professional. Plans change, however, when a magical emergency puts Aidyn’s life unexpectedly in Noelle’s hands. In order to keep him alive, the two friends decide to break the rules and form an unsanctioned Love Bond. Can this reluctant royal and overwhelmed Memorizer Mage find a way to move towards a future where they both thrive, or will unhealed wounds—from the past and present—tear them apart? * Read if you love: sweet, slow-burn, Friends-to-Lovers fantasy romance stories with multiple POVs, where she saves the prince but he falls first! _____________________________________________________________________________________ The Mage Bonds of Embermoore is one story told in six parts. Each part is structured to follow the general process of healing from trauma (as I have experienced it): Crisis, Aftermath, Changing Direction, Mending, New Foundations, and Rebuilding. When we experience something traumatic in our lives, our world shrinks down to the bare essentials so that we can focus on survival. The more we heal, the more our world opens up again. I’ve written this book in the same way. Each part builds off of each other, allowing you to experience the characters and world of the story expand and grow. _____________________________________________________________________________________ New chapters posted Wednesdays and Sundays!

The Deal: Between Love and Favors

Salin just wanted to survive. Drowning in debt, desperate to pay for his mother’s surgery, he had no way out. The last thing he expected was that one kiss with a stranger would turn his world upside down. Jun-Ho was cold, dangerous, a mafia heir and scarred by a past that made him reject any kind of touch. He had never felt desire. Never wanted anyone. Until Salin. One kiss changed everything. Fear turned into craving. A frozen body stirred. But Jun-Ho didn’t know how to deal with it, so he made an offer Salin couldn’t refuse: “Pretend to be my fiancé. In return, your debt disappears.” Salin agreed. Because he had to. But also... because he wanted to. Jun-Ho’s gaze promised pleasure. His touch trembled. And Salin wanted more. But Jun-Ho wanted too, and couldn’t act on it. And that slowly tore them both apart. Salin teased, surrendered, backed off, then tried again. Jun-Ho burned, torn between fear and longing. Between panic and pleasure. And when the touch finally happened… it was too much. Intense. Addictive. Overwhelming. The problem? Neither of them knew how to stop. What started as a deal turned into obsession, desire, and danger. ~ Mature Content Warning: This story explores psychological trauma, themes related to organized crime, healing, intense romance, and therapy.
