Gothic romance meets supernatural mystery as a night of forbidden passion opens a Pandora's box of dangerous secrets and dark magic on a remote island, in this sinfully spicy novel from bestselling author Harley Laroux.
SALEM
I wasn't supposed to be here.
I was supposed to be marrying my fiancé on a country estate, looking forward to a tropical honeymoon. Instead, I found myself on a ferry headed for historic Balfour Manor on Blackridge Island, in the Pacific Northwest
The house is as mysterious and beautiful as its owner, Rayne. And like her, this place holds dark secrets.
Crimson shadows stalk the halls, and strange voices call out in the night. Despite Blackridge's idyllic landscape, something evil lurks beneath the trees.
When all hell breaks loose and I'm stranded on the island until winter's end, unraveling the tragedies of Rayne's past is our only hope of survival.
RAYNE
Nothing good can stay.
That was what I told myself when Salem Lockard showed up at my door. She's adventurous, beautiful-and doomed to die if she remains on Blackridge.
But fate has other plans. My family has long been buried, but to break the island's curse, everything will need to be dug up again. Even the vilest of secrets.
For the first time in my life, I won't face the beast alone. Yet I've never been more terrified. Now, I have something to lose, and I'll move heaven and earth to save her.
