Room 303 - The Prophetess of Vermilion: A Bleeding Rose Motel Novella

Grace Alton's prestigious career as a gallery curator lies in ruins after one catastrophic night. Fleeing into the wilderness to escape the wreckage of her reputation, she discovers the Bleeding Rose—a mysterious motel that appears where lost souls need it most, where reality bends and time moves like honey.

The motel's only other occupants are the enigmatic Clerk, who seems to know exactly why Grace has arrived, and Adrian—a tortured artist who died trying to save a cursed painting and now exists trapped between worlds. When Adrian begins painting Grace's portrait, the canvas reveals truths she's spent years hiding and desires that could damn them both.

The Prophetess in Vermilion watches from her gilded frame, bearing Grace's own face twisted with ecstasy and warning. She promises transcendence through surrender, salvation through the kind of passion that burns away everything false. But some art demands the ultimate sacrifice, and in the Rose's blood-red rooms where ghosts walk and paintings breathe, Grace must choose between the safety of her hollow existence and the dangerous beauty of becoming Adrian's eternal muse.

In a place where love transcends death and desire rewrites reality, Grace will discover that the most powerful art is created not with paint and canvas, but with the raw materials of a human heart willing to risk everything for connection.

A standalone dark paranormal romance featuring explicit content, psychological intensity, and a guaranteed happily ever after for readers who crave Gothic atmosphere, supernatural love that defies mortality, and transformative passion between the living and the dead.
