Gothic historical and paranormal romance meet in this viral, USA Today bestselling sensation about an orphaned English teacher’s journey to a mysterious coastal town to claim her inheritance, where she encounters a forbidden love, supernatural intrigue, and ancient evil as she is torn between two enigmatic men—one alive, one from the past—now with a never-before-seen epilogue.

“I might be evil personified, but you’re the only one I’ll ever be good to.”

August 1955: When Miss Darcy O’Sullivan, an orphaned English teacher from Boston, receives a letter finding out that her biological father passed away, she is surprised to find herself included in his will. There is only one condition. She must travel to Fairydale to attend his funeral.

With the promise of a sizeable inheritance, Darcy decides to journey to the small coastal town that holds the secrets of her birth. But the moment she steps foot into Fairydale, things start to go amiss. There are odd rumours, odd deaths, and even odd men—especially brooding Caleb Hale—part of the infamous Hale family.

During the day, she falls deeper and deeper under Caleb’s spell as he forces her to step out of her comfort zone and embrace her inner sensuality. But at night, it’s another man who haunts her dreams—Amon d’Artan, a nobleman who lived two centuries ago. Amon is sweet and suave where Caleb is intense and dangerous. Soon, she finds herself embroiled in a web of lies, deceit, and inexplicable events that make her question her sanity. And when an ancient evil threatens the town and everything Darcy holds dear, she must make the ultimate choice. But will she survive it?
