You weren't supposed to be Mireille's. They said she was strange-her smile too sharp, her gaze too heavy, her presence like a shadow that lingered long after she left.
But when her eyes found you, it was already too late.
Mireille Rosengrave was roses and thorns, tenderness laced with cruelty, a hand that promised comfort while hiding secrets you couldn't name. You should have run. You should have looked away.
Instead, you stayed. And Mireille decided you belonged to her.
A gothic romance of trembling hearts, dangerous devotion, and a love story as beautiful as it is terrifying.
