She will have his name, his house, and nothing more. No warmth. No touch. No husband. And he keeps his word. Left alone in the vast, crumbling manor, Selindra quickly learns Fellgrave is not merely cold—it is wrong. Drafts slip through sealed halls, footsteps echo where no one walks, and in the east wing where she is sent to sleep, something watches… and waits. She tells herself she can endure it. Him. The silence. The growing dread. Until the night something in the dark stops watching—and begins to chase. Terrified, she runs to the one man who swore he would never come to her. And everything changes. Because the moment Selindra falls into Malrec Fellgrave’s arms, the distance he built between them begins to fracture, and the man who denied her finds himself unable to ignore her, unable to resist her, and far too willing to claim what he once refused. But the shadows of Fellgrave are not finished with her. And once Malrec begins to want his wife… he may prove far more dangerous than anything that haunts the dark. less
