A Secret in the Garden
(2026)(The first book in the Dark Manor Chronicles series)
A novel by Jeneane O'Riley
He'll give her one thing she desperately needs.
She just has to agree to his terms.
A brooding heir. A crumbling manor. And something in the walls that won't stay quiet.
A dark, slow-burn gothic romance with forced proximity, obsession, and a mystery buried beneath the ruins.
Perched on a windswept cliff, Blackwood Manor looms like a dark monument to a mysterious family. Behind its grand iron gates, one part of the estate has been left to rot since the tragic death of Hester Blackwood: the once-glorious conservatory, now choked by vines and shattered glass. The rest of the family is gone-only her brooding son, Jasper, remains, the heir to a weapons empire.
Desperate to save her job and out of options, botanist Eliza Arnold makes a bold gamble--drives to the manor and begs the elusive millionaire for a donation. Jasper agrees...on one chilling condition: restore the conservatory. Alone. No help. No leaving.
But the manor is not empty.
As Eliza battles thorns and secrets, a magnetic tension builds between her and Jasper--dark, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. And something else stirs among the roots and ruins...whispers in the walls, confusing disturbances, and a presence watching her every move.
The deeper Eliza digs, the more she uncovers a garden of grief, longing...and desire. Because in Blackwood Manor, even buried things can bloom again.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
