A haunted manor. A deadly secret. A love written in blood.

When criminal attorney Charlotte Marlow inherits Blackthorn Manor in Salem, she expects a smooth transition—not a house filled with ghosts, magic, and a dangerously alluring vampire. But beneath the estate lurks something far worse—an ancient evil, trapped in the basement, waiting…

As Charlotte unravels the secrets of the manor, she discovers her own blood holds a power that could tip the balance between salvation and destruction. With witches, vampires, and dark sorcery closing in, she must decide who to trust—especially Adrian de Lanier, the enigmatic aristocratic vampire who tempts her with passion as much as peril.

Some legacies are written in blood. Some love stories are destined to end in darkness. And some secrets should never be uncovered…

Perfect for fans of A Discovery of Witches, Twilight, and Dark Shadows. Smart, steamy, and packed with paranormal suspense. Bookfest Silver Winner 2025.
