One mission. One curse. No escape.

Zaira doesn’t want a hero. She needs a weapon.

To save her sister from a soul-devouring curse, she has to cross The Shallows—a nightmare landscape of ruined magic, shifting paths, and vicious creatures that eat people alive.

Her guide? Thane Valkor: sorcerer, assassin, walking red flag. His name clears rooms. His magic kills quietly. And whatever he’s really after, it’s not salvation.

He promises to help. He might even mean it.

But Zaira knows better than to trust a liar with a blade and ice in his veins.

She just doesn’t have a choice.

Sweet Little Hearts by Shanora Williams is now live!

From New York Times bestselling author Shanora Williams comes a deeply heartfelt romance about the tragedies that put our lives on hold--and the love that makes us want to start again.

Javier Valdez hasn't had much luck with nannies, and he can't imagine this one will be any different. Octavia Klein is all sass to his stoicism, free spirit to his hard work. But he's a widower, and with a career in the NBA, he can't keep doing this alone.

Despite Javier's reservations, Octavia turns out to be the best thing for his four-year-old daughter...and for him. But he's reluctant to admit it. Javier swore off love after his wife died, and Octavia has her own reasons for avoiding relationships.

As their bond deepens far past professionalism or even friendship, it's hard to deny the crackling tension of something more. They're both toeing lines they said they wouldn't cross--and when their pasts come rushing back, there's no telling which way they'll fall.

With old wounds reopened, can Javier and Octavia overcome the pain once again? Or will their future together become just another scar?
