Dark Waters

Some doors are better left unopened — but Iona Miller has nowhere else to run.

When a desperate book conservator fleeing a relentless stalker slips through the iron gates of a seemingly abandoned New York estate, she expects dusty rooms and forgotten silence. What she finds instead is Stefhane Richland: ancient, aristocratic, and furious. He is a vampire lord who has spent centuries cultivating his hatred of humanity, and this bright, sharp-tongued mortal woman trespassing in his coastal sanctuary is the last thing he wants — or so he tells himself.

Their first meeting is nothing short of a battle of wills. Iona's warmth and stubborn refusal to be intimidated collide spectacularly with Stefhane's cold disdain, and the tension between them crackles like a storm rolling in off the water. But when Iona's stalker kidnaps her closest friend and uses the threat as leverage, survival forces two people who can barely tolerate each other into a dangerous alliance.

Now they must navigate a deadly game of cat and mouse through the shadows of paranormal New York — where old grudges run as deep as centuries-old blood, where horror lurks beneath every careful step, and where the line between hatred and something far more consuming begins to blur.

Dark Waters is a sumptuously dark paranormal romance laced with mystery, suspense, and the slow, electric burn of enemies who discover that sometimes the most terrifying thing isn't the monster at the door — it's the feeling growing between them.
