Rights and professional enquiriesCurrently querying
A spicy dark paranormal romance about a thirty-four-year-old renovation influencer who opens herself to obsession during an intention-setting ritual, and is targeted by Bastien: obsessive, long dead and not easily dismissed.
With him, Isolde does what she has always done with broken things. She takes him apart to see what is worth saving, while fighting the voice that tells her she is not worth the effort. She will win against it.
Rights and professional enquiriesRoom for reading order, world notes, related books and future international editions.
Flexible enough for contemporary paranormal, science fiction or darker romantic fantasy.
Clear, respectful placement for reader care without turning the site into a warning label.
