Summary
Elena Madero is a Gremlin, a rare magical talent who can encase herself in living metal. Ex-military and allergic to drama, she figured finding a job in Houston’s Prime-heavy merc scene would be easy. It wasn’t. Her family’s reputation crashes through doors before she does. Desperate for work, she turns to her techie ex, Bug, and lands a high-paying gig; guarding Arabella Baylor, the youngest, wildest Prime in a family full of power. Claws, a temper, and a social media addiction. Basically, babysitting with a body count. When Arabella is accepted into an elite magical academy, Elena thinks it’s just another part of the job. She’s wrong. Something’s hunting inside the school and recruiting Prime students for a secret syndicate. Elena’s past might be the only thing that can stop it… but digging up old ghosts means exposing secrets better left buried. She expected chaos. What she didn’t expect was the sabotage, politics... or Augustine Montgomery, Head of House Montgomery—flawless, smug, and far too curious about what’s under her armor. In a city ruled by power and secrets, her toughest job might be keeping her heart locked down.

Summary
Augustine stared out the window at the building they were monitoring. He remained silent for almost a minute. "I told myself, once, that Conner-- the Connor I knew before-- would understand my decisions. I also told myself that what he might think wouldn't matter because-- When he came home, after, he was in no way safe."
Nevada could tell that Augustine believed what he was saying. "If you were inside his circle, he was."
Augustine turned and looked at her. "The only ones inside were his mother and his..." He seemed to be searching for a word. He shook his head. "It's very feudal, isn't it? And very practical. The loyalty goes both ways. It's just not how most of the world works." He drank from his own travel mug.

Summary
Nevada Baylor runs her family’s small investigative firm and does her best to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. When MII, the corporation who holds their mortgage, throws them at a high risk case, she will have to use her wits and every tool at her disposal just to survive and succeed, or they’ll be out on the streets. Throw in a wild card in the form of Houston’s most dangerous mage, and she’s in far over her head.

Summary
Because I'm completely sane and totally normal about Augustine, I decided to tweak Burn for Me to make Augustine the main love interest. A small change in their first meeting compounds into a closer working relationship, and that threatens to become more as both Augustine and Nevada discover a mutual respect. On the face of it, Nevada can't help but think it would be a terrible idea to date her boss. But as he begins to let down the icy facade of illusion separating them, something fragile yet beautiful begins to bloom, and Nevada cannot help herself from hoping for more. Even if she knows the most likely outcome for her is a broken heart.

Post-Ruby Fever Snippets by Cheesecakebanter

Summary
This is a series of snippets I imagined happened after Ruby Fever. They vary in length, and will include spoilers. Since Ruby Fever was an intense book, I imagine there being conflicts and struggles for Catalina and Alessandro, which I wanted to capture through various POVs, indicated at the top of every story.
The first story takes place maybe a week after the final battle in Ruby Fever.

Summary
We know Cornelius and Augustine are friends, but how did two men with such differing social status and life goals end up bonding? Well, they have one major thing in common—bad experiences with House Pierce. And given Nevada's experiences and House Pierce's tendencies, they likely are not the only ones...

Summary
I am a big fan of the Hidden legacy series and its urban fantasy world, but I didn't like the direction Andrews took with the Catalina books by excluding Nevada from the beginning. So, I'm trying to figure out how the story would play out if Nevada was still head of House Baylor. My hope is to upload several chapters so I can take this thought experiment somewhere, ... but we'll see,

Summary
Danielle Strode wants nothing to do with Houses or Primes and is content working as a bartender for the rest of her life, but her interference in a kidnapping brings her to the attention of one of Houston's magical elite, Augustine Montgomery.
Augustine lives in a world where favors are not free, and he does not want to be indebted to the woman who saved his siblings’ lives. He would do anything to keep his House safe, though, even if it means trying to convince the most impractical Prime he has ever met to help him track down those who means his family harm.
(Edits as of 9/11/2022. It is recommended to read from Chapter 1 to avoid any discontinuities or inconsistencies.)

Summary
“I could be your fake wife for public appearances if you’re my fake husband to please Victoria,” she jokes. The words leave her mouth before her brain catches up with what she just said.
Augustine stills in his movements, now the perfect replica of a marble statue. His gaze turns calculating. She can’t tell if she has offended him or if he’s actually thinking about it. The gears in her head start turning as well.
“Arabella, no.”
“Arabella, yes.”

Summary
The shrug Rogan gave was expansive. He did not bother to hide his grin. "I don't know. She might think it was hot."
Breaking into a suspect's office during a party would have gone smoothly, if Augustine hadn't slightly miscalculated. Quickly disguising himself as Nevada should also have gone smoothly, if Rogan hadn't decided to tease Augustine about it.

Best Laid Plans by anticyclone for sadlikeknives

Summary
"I can be helpful," Augustine said. He took a long drink of coffee. "I think it's time for me to go. I've spent half of today on subways, planes, and cars."
"You're only helpful when there's something in it for you." Rogan looked over at Nevada. "What did he ask for?"
"Nothing, which I'm pretty sure he regrets now."
Nevada was good for Rogan. It was difficult to admit, because she would have been very good for MII, but she was good for Rogan. Also, she brought Augustine interesting cases even if she didn't work for him. Augustine just wished that when he'd agreed to help in this particular instance, he'd sworn Nevada to secrecy. But he should've known that secrets don't stay buried. Even when they're about stupid college fights.

Summary
"When you called and said someone was trying to kill you, and that you were leaving, I-" Cornelius stopped. Leaned back slightly. He left his hand curled over the back of Augustine's neck. "You understand why I asked you to stay here, right?"
Of course Augustine understands. Augustine understands that he wants something he cannot have, and that he's reading too much into friendly concern. He understands that he's indulged himself in an emotional connection the laws of magic guarantee won't be returned. He understands that taking Matilda and Zeus to the art museum was not the best decision for an afternoon of babysitting, even before he got the call about the death threat.
Cornelius understands some things, too. But it's going to take slightly more to get Augustine on the same page.
