Of Lust and Lunacy

By: Harper Hawthorne

Narrated by: Nikki Grey, Lucas Dixon

They both knew better than to get involved, but the Fates had other plans.

After a brush with death leaves them both feeling reckless, two "best friends" fall into bed together, attempting to sate over a year's worth of desperate yearning. But when lust becomes lunacy, and an affectionate friendship becomes a frantic fervor of heated flesh, tangled limbs, and mutual madness, Arken Asher and Kieran Vistarii are both left wondering if their inexplicable bond was ever truly platonic.

Before the gut-wrenching betrayal, there was first perfect bliss. Return to Sophrosyne as we delve even deeper into the star-split ties and explosive chemistry between a clever Light Conduit and her Shadow-wielding spymaster in this soft, sweet, and spicy side novel.

Of Lust and Lunacy is a standalone in the Harbingers series, taking place between chapters 56 and 57 in book one, Of Blood and Aether . Rife with sizzling tension, gut-wrenching angst, addictive banter, and ever-growing stakes, the Harbingers series is perfect for fans of Callie Hart, Raven Kennedy, and Melissa K. Roehrich.

Spicy Side Quest

This one’s for the lover girls.
For the ones who want every delicious detail.
For the ones who love a man completely obsessed.

This spicy little side story? It delivers. I devoured it. Arken and Kieran are two of my favorites, so I was desperate for more—and the payoff was so worth it.

It’s fun, indulgent, and full of tension as we dive deeper into their relationship right after they finally give in to their forbidden pull. The quiet moments hit just as hard as the heated ones—him steadying her through night terrors, all the things they feel but can’t quite say out loud yet. The longing, the tension, the want… it’s all so good.
