The House That Swallowed Vows
Isolde Marr returns to Blackwater House to probate her mother's estate and discovers the first drowned vow sealed behind a mirror. Cassian Vale, the tide-bound revenant who keeps the chapel bells, can open the house's occult archive only if Isolde admits what she truly wants from the manor and from him. As the sentient house feeds on denied desire, their investigation forces explicit ritual intimacy, negotiated power exchange, and a consent-forward alliance that may cost them both their freedom. A gothic paranormal erotic romance about inheritance, grief, and lovers who must speak their hunger before the tide claims them. Free sample available.
