The Maid's Secret: A Gothic Monster Romance

By Anita Zara

Readers of gothic romance and spicy dark academia will be captivated by this deliciously dark and monstrous tale "The more you repress something, the stronger that desire is fueled."

Expecting a life of repetition and drudgery, Artemisia arrives at Voltaire Manor to begin her life as a maid. But she soon finds herself in a world far more forbidding and depraved than she could have ever imagined. Amidst the manor's lush, seductive atmosphere, something monstrous lurks under the surface, waiting to be unearthed. As Artemisia navigates the treacherous waters of her new home, she becomes entangled in a web of secrets, forbidden desires, and monstrosities from the deep. Caught between her mistress with a sultry voice that whispers of temptations, and the butler with strange, inky eyes that threaten to drown her, Artemisia must face her inner demons...or be consumed by them.
