The town you know has secrets
Ashby Lake After Dark
When night settles over the lake, the impossible stops pretending it isn’t real.
Ashby Lake was never only human.
The neighbours still gossip. The coffee still pours. The lake still keeps everyone’s secrets. But beyond the familiar streets live vampires, witches, ghosts, and other residents who have learned that hiding in a small town is easier said than done.
Ashby Lake After Dark is a paranormal-romance series about dangerous secrets, unlikely refuge, sharp banter, and finding home in the last place—or person—you expected.
First in the shadows
Rosa
She came to Ashby Lake looking for somewhere to disappear. He had been waiting a century and a half to find her.
A woman with evidence. A vampire with a sketch.
After discovering forged documents tied to a powerful billionaire, Rosa Clark leaves Toronto and runs to the one place she might be safe: her cousin Luna’s farm in Ashby Lake.
Montgomery Marcon has wealth, a castle, and one hundred and fifty years of reasons not to trust anyone. But three years ago, a young witch handed him a drawing of a woman he had never met and promised him his story wasn’t over.
Now Rosa is standing in front of him—and the danger following her is about to learn that Ashby Lake protects its own.
