    Summary

    "I know it's a bit weird," she chuckled, shrugging. "You and I are kind of the odd ones out, though, wouldn't you say?"
    A black sedan pulled up to the curb, passenger window in the process of rolling down, and Ben glanced at the license plate before turning again to Rey.
    "You and I are nothing alike," he responded, watching the way she blinked at him. Processing his reply, as though further explanation would be required if he stayed. "Have a pleasant evening, Rey."

     

    Moving back home after a series of unfortunate events, Ben, against his wishes, is forced into a group of friends both old and new.

    There, he meets Rey.

    Summary

    Summary

    After a fire leaves her with nothing but ashes and a forgotten betrothal, Rey is sent from India to the cold, echoing halls of Wrenwick Manor. The engagement is nearly a year overdue, and her intended—Lord Solo—is a man carved by war, more specter than savior. The marriage should have been voided, but he never withdrew the offer.

    Yorkshire is bleak. The manor, bleaker still. And yet beneath its withering silence, something begins to stir. A memory. A hunger. A seed of something half-dead pushing through frostbitten soil.

    He is running from a past soaked in blood. She is clinging to a version of this place that may never have existed.

    Somewhere between locked doors and shadowed halls, they begin to bloom—darkly, desperately, beautifully.

    A gothic romance about what survives the burn. About the ache to be known, and the terror of being seen. About roots that tangle… and rot.

    Summary

    His tone was deep and serious and Rey squeezed his thick fingers, wishing she knew the right words to say, or how a girl was supposed to respond to (what was, she was ready to admit) a very cute guy who was maybe sort of flirting with her. She didn’t understand the rules to flirting, no one had ever given her a copy of the book or she was defective somehow, missing some crucial piece that would make this easier.

    “I’m really not all that interesting,” she warned him in a breathless rush, needing him to know that he was wasting his opportunity to bang his way through a sorority chapter in one night--or whatever frat bros did at these things--he was seriously setting himself up for disappointment. “...but I guess you can try.”

    “I won’t just try,” he wriggled his brows suggestively. “I play center.”

    He chuckled when she stared blandly in response as if his player position explained anything.

    “You won’t find a more determined bastard on the ice. I don’t try, sweetheart, I do.”
