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

Veins Of Obsession
Grace Calloway is a surgeon, a woman who has learned to hold life and death in her hands. But her true battle lies within herself. Every time she steps into the operating room, she faces an enemy she can't control-her own body, which betrays her at the most crucial moments. Blood, something she should be able to master, is the one thing she can never predict. She learned early in life that control was all that mattered, but that control was shattered long ago. Raised in the suffocating grip of an abusive childhood, Grace learned that survival meant silence. Her parents' cruelty carved scars deeper than the ones she hides beneath her surgical gloves. Yet, she rose from the ashes, donning the white coat and burying her past behind sterile walls. To the outside world, she is the brilliant, composed surgeon. But deep inside, the remnants of her painful history still haunt her, waiting to break free. What Grace doesn't know is that someone has been watching her every move, studying her every flaw. A man who sees her not for the woman she pretends to be, but for the broken girl she truly is. He follows her from the shadows, and though she never notices, he knows her better than she knows herself. His obsession is consuming, a dangerous thread that weaves itself deeper with every breath she takes. He has been waiting for this moment-for her to falter, for her to need him, though she doesn't even know he exists. But there's more to him than Grace could ever imagine. He holds a secret that will change everything.

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

Her quiet life in the underworld of Somerset, Kentucky shatters the night Elias Ward walks through the door - a storm-drenched hunter cursed by the same god who sired her bloodline. He's spent years dreaming of her face, her voice, her scent of smoke and rain... without knowing she was real. Now he's found her, and the curse that binds them both begins to stir. Their attraction is immediate, magnetic - and wrong. Every touch feeds the god sleeping in her veins. Every kiss blurs the line between dream and waking, pleasure and ruin. The closer they draw to each other, the more the world around them begins to twist - as Epiales himself stirs in the dark, ready to reclaim what he lost. As desire becomes obsession and dreams bleed into reality, Silasine and Elias must decide whether their love is salvation... or the end of everything.
