Adverse Possession : A River’s End Novella
Dylan Rose
Evicting a vampire is hard. Evicting one who looks like that might be impossible.
Public defender Silas Vance is broke, exhausted, and the reluctant owner of River’s End—a crumbling Victorian estate that has been in his family for generations. The house comes with forty acres of Kentucky mud, a roof that leaks when it rains, and a tenant who hasn’t paid rent since the Carter administration.
Silas shows up with an eviction notice and a plan: kick the squatter out, sell the money pit, and move on.
But Elias Thorne isn’t just a squatter. He’s an ancient vampire with a predator’s grace, a mouth made for sin, and a lease signed in blood. He’s also the only thing standing between the town and the dark, rotting magic festering in the basement.
When a rival vampire lord threatens to claim the territory, Silas realizes he can’t just sue his way out of an apocalypse. He needs Elias. And worse, he’s starting to want him.
As the heat rises and the wards fail, Silas has to make a choice: break the lease, or let the monster claim him—body, blood, and soul.
Possession is nine-tenths of the law. The other tenth is hunger.
Adverse Possession is a high-heat MM paranormal romance featuring a grumpy human lawyer, a protective vampire tenant, and enough Southern Gothic atmosphere to drown in. Expect forced proximity, size difference, blood sharing, and a Happily Ever After with bite.
