Description

Thirteen nights. One immortal widow. A house that wants a bride.

Estate attorney Mara Ellison has closed uglier files before lunch. Drive up the coast, inventory a dead woman’s house, sell it before the cliff takes it. One afternoon.

Then she reads the codicil. In 1849 a solicitor named Eleanor Vane left Vane House to the woman at law who shall come to end this estate, on one condition: thirteen nights beneath its roof. The tide takes the causeway. The house takes an interest. And the woman in the portraits upstairs turns out to be very much at home.

Lady Sabine Vane has not touched anyone in a hundred and seventy-seven years, because every woman who ever loved her is hanging on a wall in a white gown. She wants Mara gone by dark. She wants Mara more than blood.

Mara doesn’t run. Mara drafts terms. Three swallows, counted aloud. One word that stops everything. Nothing taken that is not asked for by name. But the house has already put a red thread around her ring finger, and it feeds on every want you hide.

A high-heat sapphic gothic vampire romance by Maeve Hollow with an ice-queen immortal, a lawyer who litigates a haunted house, explicit feeding, negotiated power exchange, a ghost wife who writes in the margins, a lot of on-page spice, and a guaranteed HEA.
