VESPER: A Gothic Paranormal Romance

Maren Ellis arrives at Vesper House with eighty-three dollars, one broken suitcase wheel, and a practical plan: survive the inheritance, stabilize the estate, and sell the mansion before it swallows what remains of her life. The house has other plans. Its doors lock themselves. Its corridors fold. Something ancient is waking beneath the cellar. And in the shadows waits Evander Vesper - the brilliant Victorian architect who died in 1878 and somehow never left. Vesper is dangerous, possessive, and bound to the estate by a ritual built on blood, iron, and a lie about choice. The closer Maren gets to him, the more the house recognizes her - and the harder leaving becomes. To survive, Maren must uncover what her family buried, separate love from captivity, and rewrite a covenant that has mistaken possession for devotion for nearly a century and a half. But freedom has a price. And if Vesper truly loves her, he may have to prove it by letting her go.
