A Thorn in Her Veins is a dark, gothic romance about buried bloodlines, cursed love, and a mansion that remembers everything.
When Evangeline Hale receives a mysterious invitation to Blackmoor Hall-a place that burned to ash fifteen years ago-she's drawn into a world of shadows, secrets, and a man who feels more like a warning than a savior.
As long-dead memories resurface and the truth of her family's legacy unravels, Evangeline must choose: uncover the past and risk her heart... or run before it consumes her entirely.
But in a house that breathes, with roses that bleed, even love comes with a price

In The Hollow Where He Waits
This is a story that delves into the shadowed corners of the human spirit, where fear is a constant companion and strength is a flickering ember waiting to be fanned. It speaks of those who have been broken by life's tempests, yet possess an indomitable will to survive, finding solace not in the comforting glow of familiarity, but in the ethereal presence of a guiding entity - a 'Ghost' - that whispers resilience in the face of despair. It's for the lost souls who navigate the desolate landscapes of their existence, clinging to the faintest hope of a love that can bloom against all odds, a love as untamed and wild as the deepest wilderness. The narrative follows individuals who have learned to converse with the silence, finding their sanctuary not in noisy crowds, but in the hushed intimacy of the unknown. Their deepest connections are not forged in the bright, scrutinizing light of day, but in the potent, intoxicating embrace of what remains hidden, in the quiet battles waged within the soul. It celebrates the strength that lies dormant within, the survival that often goes unseen, acknowledging that even in the most desolate terrains, a profound and fierce love can indeed take root and flourish. The book is an exploration of resilience, a testament to the enduring power of the human heart to seek and find connection, even when shrouded in the deepest of shadows. It's for those who have walked through the whispering woods of their own lives, not just seeking solace, but discovering something far more elemental and profound: the realization that their deepest truths and strongest bonds often bloom in the most unexpected, and sometimes, the most silent of places.Complete
