Domestic Horror/Erotic Thriller

Shattered. Symbiotic. Unapologetic.

“I killed my husband. Not because I’m a psycho or a bad person. I’m really not. I killed him because he wanted to kill me first.”

This is how Rhea and Paul’s story starts. This book will be made up of 13 chapters, each one corresponding to a day.

Rhea Moore (34)  is a master of fiction. As a bestselling dark romance author, she knows exactly how to craft a monster, and how to make a reader fall in love with one. But when she and her husband, Paul (37), trade the chaotic noise of New York City for a secluded house deep in the Connecticut woods, the lines between her novels and her reality begin to bleed together.

Paul is everything a woman should want: protective, successful, and devastatingly handsome in a suit. But beneath his gray, desaturated eyes lies a history he’s spent years remodeling. He doesn't just want Rhea’s love; he wants her darkness.

Isolated by infinite trees and the heavy silence of the forest, Rhea feels the walls closing in. Every creak of the floorboards and every snap of a branch in the night feels like a warning. Paul promises she’s safe. He promises he is the only oxygen she needs to stay alive.

But as the countdown begins, Rhea must face the ultimate question: Did Paul bring her to the woods to protect her, or to finally help her become the villain she was always meant to be?

​

In this house, there are no neighbors. There are no rules. And there is no escaping the person who knows your darkest secrets.
