Overview

She made a bargain with a devil to save her legacy. Now he's come to claim more than her home-he wants her soul. Isolde Ravenhart is the last of her line, trapped in a decaying gothic manor haunted by a deadly family curse: the firstborn daughter is doomed to ruin if she falls in love. Following her father's suspicious death, she's left utterly alone and facing a mountain of crippling debt that threatens to tear her ancestral home away from her forever. Enter Damien Blackthorne. A ruthless crime lord, enigmatic and dangerously alluring, he holds the deed to her family's past and the keys to her future. He is the city's dark king, and he has come to collect. His offer is as cold as it is terrifying: thirty nights of her unquestioning obedience to erase the debt and save Ravenhart Manor. She is to be his pawn, his possession, a beautiful, silent ornament in his world of shadow and power. But the pact is only the beginning. The manor's secrets run deeper than Isolde ever imagined, and the ancient curse that has plagued her family is a twisted lie concealing a monstrous, hungry truth. And Damien, her captor, knows far more than he reveals, his own past inextricably linked to the Ravenhart tragedy. Forced into a forbidden proximity, Isolde finds herself drawn to the very man who threatens to consume her. His possessive touch ignites a fire she thought long dead, and his dark promises whisper of a damnation far more tempting than her gilded cage. He is her antagonist, her captor, and her only protector. As an ancient evil stirs within the manor walls, Isolde must choose: trust the man who owns her or be consumed by the darkness he represents. Is he the true curse, or the only one who can teach her to wield her own power? Perfect for fans of dark gothic romance, enemies-to-lovers, and paranormal suspense, Shadows of Desire is a steamy, standalone novel where the line between love and obsession, redemption and ruin, is blurred beyond recognition. One-click now for a tale of dangerous bargains and forbidden love.
