understand you're trying to recall a young adult fantasy series available on Kindle Unlimited, consisting of at least six books. The series features a female protagonist from Earth and a male character from another dimension. In the first book, they battle an immortal warrior together. In a subsequent installment, they time travel to Pompeii, where they learn a communication spell that causes a blue glow around their hands. This spell serves as a substitute for physical intimacy in the context of a magical illness that targets individuals who meet three specific criteria: a profession of love, one person saving the other's life, and some form of physical intimacy. Additionally, in a later part of the series, the main couple uses time travel magic to go back to just before the first book and infuse a specific tree with magic, which is how the female protagonist acquires her powers initially. The male character's mother died when he was young, leading his father to become distant, strict, and sometimes cruel.
There was a form of council that ruled everything, and made a matchmaking thing between the citizens, for the sole purpose of avoiding the magic disease, unbeknownst to the average citizen. I remember this because there was a dramatic confession scene between two teachers that had been in love for a long time, in front of the females class, due to a rogue love spell, and the male teacher got infected by the disease due to it. They passed it off as an example as to why love was messy and why they should trust the matchmaking of the council instead. I also remember that there was no actual cure for the disease, and the way they got around this was to kill themselves, then restart their hearts, which got rid of the disease for good.
