Some horrors are born in the night. Others are stitched into the heart. Olivia Devos’ marriage was never about love—it was a transaction signed in blood. Seven years of cruelty and broken bones have stripped her of everything but the will to survive. When she attends a Christmas ball and crosses paths with Cooper Brimington, a dark and dangerous nobleman, it feels less like fate and more like a final reckoning. Cooper bears demons of his own. His estate is cloaked in ghost stories—rumors of vengeful spirits and bodies buried beneath the halls. But in Olivia’s desperate eyes, he sees something he thought he’d a chance at redemption. As death stalks the corridors and guilt rots the foundations of Cooper’s crumbling world, Olivia must decide whether to risk her fragile hope on a man haunted by both the living and the dead. This descent into madness, murder and the price paid when love is born in blood is perfect for lovers of The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Masque of the Red Death One-click Serenade of the Spectral Heart today, and surrender to the darkness—because some hearts refuse to die quietly.
