Blood Moon

FICTION / Gothic

Some love stories are born in the dark.

Victorian London is drowning in fog, secrets, and blood.

When struggling tutor Maggie Abbott is hired to work at the mysterious Manor Burke, she expects difficult lessons, a troubled young ward, and perhaps a cold aristocrat with too much money and too many shadows.

She does not expect Joseph Burke.

Brilliant. Reclusive. Beautiful in the way storms are beautiful.

There is something deeply unnatural about the Count of Manor Burke. His skin is always cold. His eyes linger too long on her throat. The old church behind the manor hides a laboratory filled with strange formulas, crimson-stained glass phials, and experiments that should not exist.

As Maggie is drawn deeper into Joseph’s world of alchemy, obsession, and impossible hunger, the line between horror and desire begins to blur.

Because the terrifying truth is not that Joseph Burke may be a monster.

It is that part of her still wants him anyway.
