It's customary for Gothic romance novels to include a mysterious girl locked in the attic. Hannah Smith just wishes she wasn't that girl. As a narcoleptic and the companion to an earl's daughter with a strange affliction of her own, Hannah knows she's lucky to have a roof over her head and food in her belly when so many orphans starve on the streets. Yet freedom is something Hannah longs for. She did not, however, want her freedom to arrive in the form of kidnapping. Taken by handsome Jack Langley to a place known as Freak House, she finds herself under the same roof as a mad scientist, his niece, a mute servant and Jack, a fire starter with a mysterious past. They assure Hannah she is not a prisoner and that they want to help her. The problem is, they think she's the earl's daughter. What will they do when they discover they took the wrong girl? A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: When I set out to write the Freak House series, I wanted to put my own spin on the Gothic novels of the Victorian era. I've always loved their creepiness, the secrets, and the romance too, but I wanted to see the story from the perspective of the character that is often present but never the heroine - the girl kept in the attic. I hope you'll enjoy this trilogy as much as I enjoyed writing it.

"Do you have to leave?" I say through tears. "I promise I'll be home before you know it." That's a lie. It'll feel longer than what it actually is. And it will all feel like hell. "I'll be lost and...and...alone without you, Matt" I sob even harder. "Don't say that. You'll have Aunt Kathy and Jo. Trust me when I say this: they know exactly what they're doing. They've been through plenty of these before." I nod, not trusting my voice, afraid I'll break down again. His hand comes to my cheek as he wipes a tear that's falling. His arms then indulge me in a huge hug, his familiar cologne invading my nostrils. "STARKS! We're boarding!" I flinch at the fact that its time to let him go. He kisses the top of my head, "I love you." He whispers in my ear. "I love you too." I respond weakly. "I love you most." And with a final, hard kiss, he walks away from me. Kathy holds me and lets me cry on her shoulder as Matt looks back at me, and walks into the plane. ~~~ **This is an original story by @QuackingDuck.

BOOK 2 --- SEQUEL TO "Tainted" "His eyes squeezed shut; we waited and I felt myself drifting in and out of the scene. His hands caressed my face and I took another deep breath when we heard it. And in that moment, I knew that nothing would ever be certain. I didn't know what the next few hours held, what tomorrow did, or what the next years would bring. But in that small fraction of a second I saw his eyes light up, his lips finding mine, I knew enough." To be tainted means to be ruined, even poisoned somehow. That was what he always thought his life was and what she always described herself as. But how could two people capable of so much love be anything remotely tainted? *********************************************** COPYRIGHT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

COMPLETED --- BOOK 1 "You just look at her, you hear her, you think about her and you're stuck. You're stuck because you've never known a time where you could fall in love with her all over again, every time." Tainted was all he ever considered his life to be. Tainted is how she would describe herself. But maybe there was hope, that two souls so tainted by their harsh realities could fuse. *********************************************** COPYRIGHT.

I didn't think you would mean this much to me. I was never suppose to fall so hard for you, but every time you smiled it would make my heart pound and butterflies to erupt in my stomach. I thought it was just a crush, but the more we talked the harder I fell.
