It's just a house, right? Houses can't hurt. Houses can't bleed.
But this house wants you to.
When the Waite family moves into their new home, they don't bargain on being unwanted guests. But this house has deep-rooted, blood soaked history, and it's angry. This Thing is Starving is an unflinchingly feminist love letter to the abused, bursting with feminine rage and told from the perspective of a haunted house.

Irresistible Sin...
Eva never thought her father's decision to send her to live with her uncle Damien for college would turn her world upside down. The distance from home seemed ideal at first-until she stepped into Damien's house and realized how dangerously close she would be to the one man who had always been a constant in her life. Damien, a successful and charismatic businessman, has always seen Eva as family-but that was before she grew into a stunning, independent woman. Now, every glance, every touch between them feels charged with an electric tension neither can deny. Forbidden desire simmers beneath the surface, threatening to consume them both. As the days pass, their attraction intensifies in ways that neither can control. What starts with heated glances and lingering moments quickly escalates into something far more dangerous. Torn between guilt and longing, they find themselves unable to resist the burning desire pulling them closer. Each stolen moment feels like a sin, but it's one they can't walk away from. Caught in a web of passion, secrecy, and a love that defies everything they've ever known, Eva and Damien must face the inevitable question: Can they fight the pull of their irresistible desire, or will they surrender to it, no matter the cost?Complete

His fists slammed against the wall just inches from Seth's head. The boy flinched, trembling, eyes wide with fear, not guilt. Ren's chest heaved, the rage that had carried him this far twisting into something colder. "I was wrong," his voice cracked, broken between fury and shame. "You're not him. You're not the one who destroyed my life." But it was too late. The bruises were already carved into Seth's skin, the ring already forced onto his hand. Ren Morgan thought he had finally caught the monster who haunted him. Instead, he destroyed an innocent man, claiming him as husband by force, chaining him to violence and obsession. Now Ren must face the truth: the criminal still walks free, and the only monster in Seth's life is him.
