Fragile Facade (Vile House Book 2)

Some men court danger. Soren "Ghost" Sauder courts Death itself—and he's never looked more alive doing it.

Beneath his polished veneer of superiority, Ghost is a man running out of time. A family curse is closing in, and his answer is to taunt it, to prove that even fate bows to him. Narcissism isn't just a personality flaw when you're this spectacular—it's a survival strategy. Or so he tells himself.

Then there's Killian "Riot" Hallows, bargained to a higher power and tasked with one impossible job: keep Ghost breathing. The problem? Riot has absolutely no intention of saving anyone. A master of masks with a sociopath's precision, he tears down the egos of others to fortify his own—and Ghost's god complex is simply too irresistible a target. Why protect a man from his own recklessness when you can nudge him closer to the edge and watch that pretty facade finally crack?

What begins as a calculated power play between two men who weaponize charm and cruelty in equal measure slowly becomes something far more dangerous than any curse. Because the closer Riot pushes Ghost toward destruction, the more he finds himself watching. Studying. Wanting.

In this paranormal LGBTQ+ contemporary romance, the second installment of the dark and twisted Vile House series proves that the most fragile thing about a man isn't his mortality—it's the walls he builds to keep someone like you out.
