The story
Some secrets refuse to stay buried.
When Rosa Clark discovers forged documents linking billionaire Montgomery Marcon to Goat Haven, she leaves Toronto and heads for Ashby Lake. Her cousin Luna may be the only person who can help her untangle the truth—but the quiet lakeside town is hiding far more than Rosa imagined.
Monty has had one clue for three years: a witch’s sketch of a woman he had never met. The moment Rosa arrives, the 150-year-old vampire wonders if she is the one from that drawing. Neither of them is prepared for what that recognition means—or for the danger already closing in.
A slow-burn paranormal romance with sharp banter, hidden magic, found family, and a heroine who refuses to be intimidated by an ancient vampire—or anyone else.

Determined · observant · impossible to push around

Sabriana Blake
Gillian’s girlfriend, at home around horses and the haven’s beautiful chaos.
In Ashby Lake, everyone knows something.
The difficult part is discovering who—or what—you can trust.
