She came to Ravencourt seeking work. She found a house that knew her name.
Sybil Alderton arrives at the windswept Ravencourt Manor to catalogue its fading legacy-but nothing in the house behaves as it should. The corridors breathe. The mirrors lie. And the Duke who rules the estate wears secrets like skin.
But when Sybil hears her name spoken in the dark, when a masked man enters her room and leaves no trace, she realizes her role at Ravencourt is not to record its history...
It is to reclaim it.
In a house where love is twisted with inheritance, and desire whispers through walls, The Midnight Heir is a gothic, erotic suspense novel of buried identities, forbidden seduction, and the terrifying power of memory.

SEX AND SINS (The Alpha's Forbidden Claim)
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. RATED 18+. 90% STEAMY Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat. It surges too often, too powerfully, even outside mating season... and now it's a curse she can't escape. Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.
