The Brown House

The Brown family has always carried shadows-but none darker than the night their father was murdered. Years later, the truth remains buried, whispered about but never understood. Now, the secrets are beginning to stir again... and they're coming from beneath the floorboards.

They rarely speak at first; instead, they watch each other through the mirror behind the bar, a silent ritual forming between them. For Demitri, going to the bar becomes less about escape and more about her.

He senses she carries secrets of her own. And somehow... they may be tied to his family.

Their slow-burning connection intensifies just as a new threat emerges-Sassy's ex*,a volatile and dangerous man with a past that refuses to stay buried. His return brings not only tension but a suffocating sense of dread. He knows
