An arranged marriage. A crumbling mansion. A love written in blood.
Cormac O’Sullivan has always been the shadow among monsters. The forgotten brother.
The reclusive heir who hides in the decaying halls of the family’s ancestral estate, his silence louder than any bullet.
But when a blood pact forces him into an arranged marriage with the defiant daughter of a rival mafia family, everything changes. Brenna Doyle is not the kind of woman who bows.
Not to family, not to tradition, and definitely not to a man who looks at her like he’s sizing up her soul.
Yet she finds herself trapped inside his gothic mansion during the weeks leading up to Halloween, surrounded by secrets, sins, and the slow, burning threat of a love that could ruin them both.
He wants obedience. She wants out. But as darkness rises and enemies close in, they may discover that their most savage sin… is falling for each other.
Perfect for fans of: arranged marriage, reclusive antiheroes, gothic dark romance, and enemies-to-lovers with knife-edged chemistry.
