Tether

Official Blurb:

Pride keeps London quiet the way any honest monster does: fast decisions, clean threats, debts that get paid. Vampire. Incubus. Demi-god. Old enough to know the only “politics” that matter are the ones you handle in the back room before the bass drops again. The other City Masters coexist because it’s convenient. Cheaper. Less cleanup.

Then she shows up.

Sophia—wolf‑witch, no pack, no patience, raised in a monastery and living on borrowed sleep. The curse in her ribs wants what Pride is and what he remembers. It wants to eat. And it’s learning fast.

The city feels it. Lines twitch. Favours get called in. Not a council—just a network of people who know when to mind their business and when to text at 3 a.m. Pride should kick her out and lock the door. Instead he finds himself choosing “stay” when “leave” would hurt less.

This isn’t high fantasy. No crowns. No glitter. It’s neon, cigarettes, a locked office, and a promise you regret as soon as the latch clicks. It’s insomnia and panic and trying to be better when you’ve only ever been sharp.

He’d hand over a city to keep her. She’d burn one to stay free. Between them: a bond that might be love or just another way to drown.

Tether is a dark urban PNR. High heat. High emotion. HFN for book one; the bigger mess keeps coming. 18+.

This story is dark, gritty, and emotionally heavy. The list below is here so you can decide if it’s for you. It’s not a tease, and it won’t spell out plot. No Spoilers

What’s in the book

• Graphic violence and blood: on-page fights, injuries, and aftermath care; occasional visceral/body-horror imagery tied to the supernatural “hunger” theme.
• Threat/peril: stalking-adjacent attention, menace, and territorial intimidation; fear for life and safety.
• Possession/loss of control: demonic/parasite-like influence described from inside a character’s POV; intrusive sensations/urges.
• Mental health: insomnia, panic attacks, trauma responses, hypervigilance, and the messy work of coping; depictions aim to be empathetic, not neat.
• Sexual content (18+): explicit on-page scenes between consenting adults; rough edges, possessive/obsessive dynamics, and intense language. No “closed door.”
• Power imbalance: extreme age gap (immortal vs. adult human), social/territorial power differences, and protective/controlling tendencies.
• Religious elements: Catholic/monastic setting, prayer/liturgy, and characters wrestling with belief; not used as a joke.
• Substance use and nightlife: alcohol, nicotine, and club environments.
• Strong language throughout.
