Duke of Thorns: A Gothic Victorian Fae Romance

Liora has three days before she belongs to a monster.


Sir Edmund Hargrave is respectable. Wealthy. A magistrate. His first wife lasted two years before she died. No one asks questions about men like him.


So when another monster offers her a way out—a Duke who appears from nowhere, who watches her like prey, who promises safety in exchange for marriage—she takes the bargain. What choice does she have?

But Thornwood Hall keeps secrets in its stones. The Duke keeps secrets in his blood. And Liora is beginning to suspect that the cage she chose might be worse than the one she escaped.


He cannot lie. He can only deceive.


She just doesn't know it yet.
