Ghosts of Dallas: a bwwm modern gothic romance

They say every house has its secrets. His is a tomb.

I came to Dallas to build a new life, to step out of my sister’s shadow and find my own way. The plan was get a job, find my footing, maybe even fall for a sweet, normal boy with a sunlit smile. The job I found was as a live-in nanny for a man twice my age, a brilliant architect shattered by the recent death of his wife.

His name is Julian Caldwell, and his house is a cold, silent masterpiece of marble and glass in the heart of Highland Park. He’s a ghost in his own home, his eyes haunted by a sorrow so profound it feels like a physical presence. But there’s something else here, too. A locked door at the end of a long, dark hall. A story about his wife’s death that doesn’t add up. And a flash of a different man behind the grief—someone with a cold, possessive authority that terrifies and thrills me.

I shouldn’t want him. I should be running toward the easy, uncomplicated life that’s waiting for me outside these walls. But a single, desperate night of passion changes everything, leaving me with a secret that ties me to this house, and to him, forever.

Now I’m trapped between the man I should want and the haunted, broken man I can’t seem to escape. He believes he’s a monster who destroys everything he touches. I’m starting to believe the only thing I’m truly afraid of is him letting me go.

Ghosts of Dallas is a steamy, modern gothic interracial romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It’s a story of love, loss, and the dark, beautiful secrets we keep.

Note to While Ghosts of Dallas is the tenth book in the Tales of the Big D series, each story is a standalone romance with its own satisfying conclusion and can be enjoyed in any order.
