Something in Beaumont House is waking up, and it knows Petra is there.
Petra Reed was hired to figure out why Beaumont House keeps lighting up red. The estate’s containment system has worked for generations, but something has changed, and no one can explain why the warnings are becoming more frequent. Petra expects damaged wards, bad repairs, maybe a little old magic behaving badly. She does not expect Vincent Beaumont, the man at the center of everything the house was built to contain.
Vincent has spent centuries behind iron, magic, and rules designed to keep everyone else safe from what he is. He knows exactly why those rules exist, and he has no intention of letting Petra get close enough to become another reason for them. But the old magic beneath Beaumont House keeps responding to her, revealing pieces of the estate that were buried long before she arrived and raising a much more dangerous question: what if the problem was never that the containment was failing, but that someone changed what it was meant to do?
If Petra repairs the system, what exactly is she helping keep locked away? And when the distance Vincent insists on keeping between them starts to feel more dangerous than crossing it, will she walk away—or hold tight to the one thing everyone else has spent generations telling her to fear?
Genre: Paranormal Romance
