Perfect for you if...

  • You love atmospheric Southern Gothic settings with real historical weight and decay, not just aesthetic window dressing.
  • You want paranormal romance where both characters have genuine power and agency, not just one saving the other.
  • You're drawn to stories about family curses and generational trauma, especially where the protagonist must choose their own path.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer fast-paced plots. This book builds atmosphere slowly and lingers on character development and worldbuilding.
  • You dislike love-at-first-sight or dream-connection romance tropes, which are central to Ethan and Lena's bond.
  • You want standalone stories. This is book one of a series and ends with threads left intentionally open.

About this book

Lena Duchannes arrives in the small Southern town of Gatlin, concealing a family curse that has haunted her for generations and struggling to hide her power. Ethan Wate, a local who dreams of escaping Gatlin, has been experiencing recurring dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan finds himself drawn to her and becomes determined to understand the connection between them. Set in an isolated Southern town filled with overgrown gardens, murky swamps, and crumbling graveyards, this paranormal romance explores how secrets, strangers, and curses can upend a place where nothing ever changes. In a town with no surprises, one secret could alter everything. This is the first book in a contemporary gothic fantasy series.
