A Novel of Gothic Mystery and Supernatural Suspense!
You've heard of the Woman in White and the Woman in Black, now meet The Lady in Yellow!
Approaching her nineteenth birthday, Veronica Everly is on a train heading to a stately home in the wilds of Yorkshire to take on her first job as governess to two motherless children, Jacques and Jacqueline, twins so identical that together they are called "Jack".
The secretive nature of the housekeeper, Mrs. Twig, strange books in the library, and the increasingly weird, disturbing antics of the twins bring up Veronica's deepest fears. But when she meets the twins' father, the dark, handsome and stormy Rafe de Grimston, her fate seems sealed.
Belden House is full of mysteries. An unseen bell tolls, wolves prowl the grounds, and under the full moon, a lady appears in a yellow gown whose eyes run red with blood.
There is a curse on Belden House that drives Rafe de Grimston to despair. It has something to do with the old church in the forest, Saint Lupine's. It has even more to do with the lady in yellow. .
I could feel its presence from behind me.
I tried walking faster, but I could feel it slowly pacing near me.
I turned around, expecting a dark, hideous vampire standing behind me, but to my surprise, there was none. I turn back around to start going back to the pack house where it's safe but I realise, he's right in front of me.
My breath catches in my throat as I let out a gasp. "Never seen something so beautiful, I see?" He taunts. "Make one sound and I'll bite you right here, right now."

Phoebe Wolf, a gorgeous werewolf and daughter of the Alpha. She could make men fall in love with her in a second with her beauty but despite her charming looks and sweet personality, her family neglected her.
Her parents died later on in an attack near the borders of the werewolf clan and the vampire coven, leaving her older brother to take over the werewolf pack as alpha.
Phoebe was abandoned in the castle, never to be seen again by any other wolf. But little did they know, Phoebe's mate was still out there. He was somewhere, waiting for her too.
But there's one thing stopping them from meeting.
The borders.
