A Steamy Gothic Romance

A storm-swept estate. A reclusive billionaire. A passion that burns through the dark.

Maya Lin came to Blackwood Manor with one goal: inspect and restore a priceless 17th-century Renaissance tapestry. She expected cold stone walls and professional rivalry. She didn't expect Julian Vance—a brooding, enigmatic collector whose sharp gaze and commanding presence instantly rewrite all her rules.

Trapped together by a furious coastal storm, the line between professional friction and irresistible attraction vanishes. As a sudden power outage plunges the manor into candlelight, lingering touches turn into electric heat, and deep-seated secrets threaten to shatter everything they stand for.

But Julian hides more than just emotional walls. Concealed within the antique silk is a revelation that could destroy his family legacy—and test whether their newfound passion can survive the light of day.
