"Hell is empty and all the devils are here."

On the cusp of the 20th century, blue blood heiress Lucy Penn has lost everything: her betrothed, her family and home, and even her ability to walk in the sunlight. As she struggles to acclimate to her new nocturnal existence, she makes the acquaintance of Dr. Thomas Reed: an intelligent and tortured immortal, still haunted by the horrors of his past.

As the pair grow closer, Lucy becomes privy to a frightening world far below the surface of polite society, in which beings of ancient and unfathomable power live outside the confines of humanity.

Carpe Noctem (or "Seize the Night") follows Lucy on her journey through the shrouded streets, eerie hospitals, and aristocratic parlors of nighttime London.

As she seeks to exhume the insidious and terrifying purpose behind her transformation, Lucy finds herself drawn deeper into a dark nocturne world of unimaginable folklore and intrigue, begging the question: can love be found after death?

Set within the haunting halls of an ancient manor, the story revolves around the magnetic pull between two dominant personalities: the enigmatic and brooding Damien, and the fiercely independent and alluring Isabella. Damien, with his piercing gaze and commanding presence, exudes an aura of danger and mystery that draws Isabella into his orbit. As a woman of strength and determination, Isabella is no stranger to temptation, but Damien's dark allure proves irresistible. Their first encounter is shrouded in secrecy and seduction, as Damien leads Isabella into the depths of the mansion's labyrinthine corridors. With each whispered word and lingering touch, the tension between them simmers with intensity, threatening to ignite into flames of passion.

As Isabella becomes ensnared in his web of desire, she finds herself torn between her own desires and the danger that lurks beneath Damien's seductive façade. Their relationship is a tumultuous dance of dominance and submission, passion and betrayal. Isabella struggles to maintain her independence in the face of Damien's overpowering presence, while Damien grapples with his own demons and desires.

Book 1 of The Secrets of Spiritwood - Complete I was born and raised in Spiritwood with no intention to ever leave, until the choice is taken away from me when my family is put in danger. I return to my grandfather's cabin as the sun is setting only to discover my belongings have been packed. I'm forced to leave without the chance to say goodbye to the two people who mean the world to me. It's been nine years and once again the choice is taken from me. I have no option but to go back to Spiritwood after my grandfather passes but when I arrive, something isn't quite right. The busy hustle of the once quaint town is gone, the streets are eerily quiet and missing person flyers cover the windows of rundown businesses. My plan to deal with my grandfather's estate and skip town before anyone can see me turns to dust when I run into the very people I've vowed to never speak to again. In the end, all I know is that I'm left with so many questions. Can you be in love with more than one person at the same time? Will I be able to forgive them for all their secrets and lies? Will I finally allow myself to let go and fall in love? And why do I have this feeling that I may end up destroyed in the process? **T/W: Foul Language, Foul Attitudes, Violence and Steamy, Steamy Scenes.** Most Impressive Ranking: #1 - Menageatrois - June 3, 2024 #1 - MoonGoddess - October 22, 2021 #1 - Romance - April 12, 2022 #1 - Goddess - April 14, 2022 #1 - Werewolf - June 3, 2024 #2 - Mature - August 11, 2021 #3 - EroticaStories July 17, 2021 #3 - Night - April 14, 2022 #5 - Wolfpack January 19, 2022 #10 - Queen January 12, 2022 #75 - Life September 5, 2021
