In 1745, Miss Mercy Savage is left an orphan after her notorious, money lender father is killed in a mysterious fire. His infamous riches, and extensive library, are all left to her under a single condition. She must leave Boston for the town of her parents' origin, a small New England hamlet snug in midst of marshland and swamps. There she becomes the ward to her father's only childhood friend, Cyril Bawden, at his sprawling brick home filled with books and shadows. But there is a dark figure haunting her steps, one that is seeking what is due to him, something her father promised years earlier.

Our Silent Vows
She was mine long before she knew it. I had been raised in shadows, in a world where power was survival and choice was an illusion. But then there was her. She slipped into my life unexpectedly and defiantly, her eyes too bright for a town like this one. She was unafraid of what lay beneath the surface, thinking she could walk away and resist the pull. But every step she took only bound her tighter to me. She was delicate but stubborn, fierce enough to face what others ran from, even if she didn't fully see it yet. She was the only thing I had ever chosen. I would break anything to keep her, everything, even her illusions of freedom. Because in a world that offered no choices, she became my one certainty. I will carve that truth into the world, with blood, if I have to. R.

His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.

Knight of Slaughtaverty
In the sleepy town of Slaughtavery, all is not as it seems. In 1745, boys began to disappear, leaving no trace behind. The town was trapped in a hush of anxiety, gripped by fear too profound to express. After beautiful Madrigal Byrne ran away on her wedding day, the district was hurled into horror and madness until the lord of the Manor ended it with one vicious act of judgment and became known as the Knight of Slaughtaverty. Now, nearly 300 years later, antique appraiser Aubrey Dankworth answers an advertisement to catalogue the huge collection of antiques inside Slaughtaverty Manor, and shortly after her arrival, history seems to be repeating itself... TW:- I'm marking this novel as mature due to its violent nature, upsetting themes (abuse, murder, and others), blood, and gore. This book is not meant for squeamish or sensitive readers. Reader discretion is advised.
