Bound and Unbound

《紐約時報》暢銷作家阿里·海澤伍德（Ali Hazelwood）令人沉醉的超自然浪漫中篇小說雙部曲——首次推出實體書與電子書合集！
在《束縛》（Bound）中閱讀扣人心弦的暗黑學院風浪漫故事，然後翻轉書本，在《釋放》（Unbound）中釋放禁忌之愛的危險。

《束縛》：一個不情願的騙子和一個擁有太多秘密的教授，被一本神秘的古籍束縛在一起——不只在一種層面上。
維若妮卡·「維若」·麥瑟（Veronica “Vero” Mercer）由騙子父母撫養長大，對行騙瞭若指掌。當研究所的學費帳單堆積如山、朋友遇到麻煩時，她將自己的藝術史專業轉化為偽造藝術品的副業。
這本該是一筆短期交易，但她的作品引起了維克多·艾許沃斯博士（Dr. Viktor Ashworth）的注意，他是一位沉默寡言、非常具有英倫氣質的教授。艾許沃斯沒有舉報她，而是——禮貌地——綁架了她，並提出了一個不同尋常的提議：為他偽造一份神秘的古代手稿。
很快地，維若發現自己與維克多共度了許多漫漫長夜，俯首於稀有的羊皮紙樣本和晦澀的墨水之間。但隨著這場騙局變得越來越危險，維若不禁懷疑：維克多真正想要的是什麼？而為什麼自己無法遠離他？

《釋放》：一位活了五千年、見證了無數帝國興亡的女子。一位奉獻一生與死亡對抗的醫生。他們的命運在一場血腥的復仇遊戲中交會。
來自尼尼微的莉莉絲（Lilit of Nineveh）數千年來都掌控著一切。作為一個強大的亡靈（revenant），她堅守一條至高無上的規則：保護凡人。紀律嚴明且專注的她從未犯過兩次同樣的錯誤，她深知情感的依附只會帶來毀滅。
然而，羅曼·馬丁（Roman Martin）出現了。他是一位工作過度卻無比善良的急診科醫生，也是莉莉絲唯一無法割捨的凡人。他們之間的任何關係都違背了莉莉絲所奮鬥的一切。然而，她卻一次次回到他的身邊。
直到有人開始獵殺莉莉絲，而羅曼被捲入了交火之中。當一切崩潰時，莉莉絲必須在她誓言保護的世界與她註定不該愛上的男人之間做出抉擇。

Read the captivating dark academia romance in Bound, then flip your book over to unleash the dangers of forbidden love in Unbound.

Bound: A reluctant con artist and a professor with too many secrets are bound by an arcane text—in more ways than one.
Veronica “Vero” Mercer grew up with grifters for parents, and she knows her way around a con. When grad school bills pile up and her friends are in trouble, she turns her art history skills into a forgery side hustle.
It’s supposed to be a short term deal, but her work draws the attention of Dr. Viktor Ashworth, a reserved, very British professor. Instead of turning her in, Ashworth kidnaps her—politely—and makes an unusual offer: forge a mysterious ancient manuscript for him.
Soon Vero finds herself spending long nights with Viktor, bent over rare vellum samples and obscure inks. But as the con grows riskier, Vero has to wonder: what does Viktor really want, and why can’t she stay away?

Unbound: A five-thousand-year-old woman who has outlived empires. A doctor who has spent his life fighting death. They fates collide in a blood game of vengeance.
Lilit of Nineveh has spent millennia in control. As a powerful revenant, she enforces one rule above all: protect mortals. Disciplined and focused, she has never made the same mistake twice, and she has learned that attachments can only lead to ruin.
Enter Roman Martin. An overworked and relentlessly kind ER physician, he is the one mortal Lilit cannot quit. Any relationship between them is against everything Lilit has fought for. Still, she keeps coming back to him.
Until someone starts hunting Lilit, and Roman is caught in the crossfire. When everything comes crashing down, Lilit must choose between the world she has sworn to protect and the man she was never meant to love.
