She came seeking freedom.
She found a monster... and the bond that could ruin them both.
When Selene crosses the gates of the cursed Varrow Manor, she expects menace and shadows, not the man who stalks its halls - Kael, the beast-bound lord who wears his scars like armor and keeps the world at claw's length. But the manor isn't just haunted; it's alive, and it wants them both.
Drawn into a dangerous slow-burn of hunger and defiance, Selene refuses to bow to Kael's warnings. She uncovers his secrets, presses past his walls, and tests the boundaries of the curse that has claimed generations. The deeper she digs, the tighter the bond between them coils - until resisting it becomes as impossible as breaking it.
But desire in the manor is never free.
Every kiss feeds the hunger.
Every touch tightens the chain.
