Catching Ghosts Novels & Stories

"I don't play games, Miss Moretti. I end them." Celine Moretti has a plan after catching her boyfriend with the new beautiful transfer student. It’s simple, really. Step one: Don't cry. Get even. Step two: Seduce the transfer student’s uncle—the icy, terrifyingly handsome Professor Reed—and destroy his niece’s perfect little life. It was supposed to be a game. A little revenge to soothe a broken heart. Celine thought she was the player. She thought Professor Reed was just a target, a rigid academic with a god complex and a stick up his ass. She was wrong. Professor Reed isn't just a teacher. He is Caelum Morano, the ruthlessly efficient Don of the Morano Crime Family. A man who hides in the halls of academia to hunt the shadow organization that butchered his fiancée. He has spent years perfecting his mask of indifference, living a life of cold solitude, surrounded by a loving but dangerous family he keeps at arm's length. Until Celine walks in. She is chaos in red lipstick. She is defiance wrapped in a short skirt. And she looks exactly like the ghost haunting his dreams. He tries to reject her. He tries to scare her away. "You’re playing with fire, little star," Caelum warned, his hand closing around her throat, not tight enough to hurt, but firm enough to own. "And I burned down the world a long time ago." "Then burn me," Celine whispered, trembling not with fear, but with a dark, twisted need. "I’d rather burn with you than freeze alone."

"Eyes on me, Willow," he hissed, voice dangerously low. "I won't let you sit there and pretend it's someone else." I bit my lip, shaking my head. "Look at me!" he ordered. The sheer command in his voice had my eyes flying open. "Good girl, I won't have you pretend I'm the wrong brother." ****************************** Willow Thompson thought the worst thing that could happen to her was public humiliation. She was wrong. Because catching her boyfriend cheating in the hockey locker room is only the beginning. Theo Spencer is popular, charming, and used to getting everything he wants. Breaking up with him should have ended the drama. Instead, it starts a war. A war that drags in his stepbrother. Aiden Cross — the Alpha’s son, captain of the hockey team, and the most dangerous wolf in the school. When Willow impulsively kisses Aiden on the ice in front of everyone, it’s supposed to be revenge. Nothing more. A fake relationship meant to drive Theo insane. But the more time Willow spends with Aiden, the harder it becomes to remember what was supposed to be fake. Because beneath the cold exterior, Aiden is protective, relentless… and dangerously easy to fall for. And Willow has secrets of her own. Secrets that could turn the entire school upside down. Because Willow Thompson isn’t just the scholarship cheerleader everyone thinks she is. She’s also the hidden daughter of one of the most powerful men in the supernatural world. Now jealousy is turning to obsession. Enemies are beginning to circle. And in a school filled with wolves, vampires, and power-hungry rivals, Willow is about to learn one very important lesson: Falling for the Alpha’s son was never supposed to happen. But surviving the fallout might be even harder.

The war has just begun. ​Five years ago, Kate Jones survived the wreckage of her family’s empire and walked into a cold, transactional marriage with the "Ice King" of Greensville, William Dray. Together, they dismantled her uncle’s greed and turned a marriage of convenience into a formidable union. ​But at the glittering five-year anniversary gala of the Dray-Morrison merger, the ghosts of the past decide to RSVP. ​It starts with a gift—a charred wedding ring that should have been lost in the plane crash that killed Kate’s parents.
