What Thorne Hall Remembers: A Dark Gothic Romantasy
Three years ago, Raine Beauchamp woke with no memory of the woman she had been.
When a letter arrives demanding repayment of her father’s impossible debt, she travels to Thorne Hall to beg its reclusive master for mercy.
Byron Thorne offers her a bargain instead.
Seven days beneath his roof, and the debt disappears.
Raine should refuse. Byron is cold, scarred and impossible to read, and there is something deeply wrong with the house he refuses to leave.
Lamps kindle when she enters empty rooms. Roses grow where none were planted. A forgotten tune follows her through the corridors. And behind the locked doors of the east wing, Raine discovers letters belonging to a woman whose story ended three years ago.
A woman Byron refuses to discuss.
But Byron is becoming harder to fear.
He warns Raine away from the Hall’s secrets, then risks himself to drag her out when she gets too close. He keeps his distance until suddenly he doesn’t. And beneath every clipped word and carefully controlled glance is the unsettling sense that her presence is costing him far more than he will admit.
The longer Raine stays, the more dangerous their bargain becomes.
Because she is beginning to want the man who might be lying to her.
And Byron is beginning to look at her like seven days will never be enough.
Raine came to Thorne Hall to save her family from ruin. Now she has seven days to discover what Byron wants from her, why the house seems determined to stir memories she cannot reach, and what really happened here three years ago.
Thorne Hall has been keeping its secrets for three years.
And some memories were buried for a reason.
A cursed house, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, a scarred and secretive hero, slow-burning desire, missing memories, gothic mystery and secrets better left buried.
