Bonds of Magic by Spencer Spears

Cory knows Noah doesn’t like him. The man is cold. Harsh. Impossible to read. So when Noah saves him from a violent encounter with a fellow student, Cory doesn’t know what to make of it. And when Noah’s touch lingers… When his gaze burns… Cory starts to wonder if he’s been wrong about everything.

Now, Noah isn’t just his combat professor—he’s also teaching Cory how to be an incubus. Which means long hours. Closed doors. Too much heat and not enough relief.
Cory’s power is growing fast, and so is his desire for the one man he should stay away from. But giving in has consequences. Cory’s connection to Noah makes him more vulnerable to the incubi who want to control him. And it draws the attention of witches who would kill him if they knew the truth.
Worse still, Noah’s hiding secrets of his own—secrets that tie him to Cory’s dreams in ways neither of them expect.
Cory’s running out of time to master his powers. But with the pull between him and Noah getting stronger every day, resisting temptation might be the most dangerous thing of all.

Bonds of Magic is Book 3 in the Vesperwood Academy: Incubus series. This dark gay romantasy series is high heat with a romance that evolves across all six books. It’s a little more intense than a contemporary Spencer romance, but it still has all the Spencer feels you know and love. It features forbidden romance, professor/student, and hurt/comfort themes with gay awakenings, daddy issues, mystery, and suspense. Bonds of Magic ends on a cliffhanger.
