Bound and unbound

"New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood's intoxicating paranormal romance novella duology-together for the first time in print and ebook! 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.
