(urban fantasy | queer romance | slow burn | idiots in love)
London has a hidden problem.
And Detective Alex Pankhurst has just stumbled straight into it.
After a near-fatal encounter with something that absolutely should not exist, Alex is seconded to a covert Met unit handling supernatural incidentsโand partnered with Tristan Locryn, the Metโs only sanctioned monster hunter.
Tristan is competent, controlled, and very clearly does not want a partner.
Alex is none of those things.
Unfortunately for both of them, something in London has already decided Alex is exactly who it wants.
And itโs not letting him go.
Expect:
* ancient druid who is softer than he looks
* chaotic detective flirting through near-death experiences
* mutual pining + terrible communication
* a curse that weaponises unrequited love (yes really)
* โthis is a huge mistakeโ energy
* emotional damage (affectionate)
