Hexed on the Night Shift

On the night shift, Skye learns the city's hidden magic feeds on one word. With Reid beside her, she must rewrite the rules of consent before an unseen hex steals their voices and their chance at love. Skye works nights because the world is quieter then, because the lights are steady, because she can keep her life simple and her heart out of reach. But one shift turns strange in a way she can't explain to anyone who wasn't there. Voices come from places they shouldn't. A familiar call pulls her down the wrong corridor. A word that should mean safety starts to feel like a lock picking itself open. Reid is the kind of man night shift leans on, calm under pressure, watchful without being controlling, the person who steps closer when others step back. He's also the only one who notices the pattern fast enough to name it. Something in the building isn't haunting them for fun. It's feeding on automatic answers, on exhausted habits, on the small ways people give themselves away just to make the moment end. When the night turns into a maze of borrowed voices and borrowed authority, Skye and Reid make a choice that changes everything. They stop chasing sound. They start verifying hands. They build a new language that keeps their bodies safe and their hearts intact. The closer danger gets, the closer they are forced to stand, until the line between protection and intimacy becomes impossible to ignore. Hexed on the Night Shift is a clean, consent-forward romantasy romance about hidden magic in a modern city, the courage to pause when the world demands quick answers, and a love that refuses to become a door for anyone else.
