Graciously His

Dark Aotearoa Romance Collection (DARC): Book 1

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Compliance nearly killed her. His obsession might save her.

Grace has been sick all her life, and she’s always complied with her mother’s care.

Even when it hurt.

Especially then.

She marries Nick, hoping for distance from both her illness and her mother. Instead, her new husband moves them into the house next door, and shows her the same type of suffocating care.

When Nick is killed in a hit-and-run, his twin brother arrives within hours. Nate is not there to care for Grace in her grief, but to steal her away before her mother can close in.

Nate forces Grace into marriage, then flies her to the North Island, where he has built the house she designed during her abandoned degree in architecture.

His rescue becomes her prison, while his care becomes her temptation. All she has to do is find a way out, or give in completely.

Graciously His is a full-length, pitch-black romance set in New Zealand, featuring taboo subject matter, psychological horror, catastrophic love scenes, and an absolutely feral literary style. Read at your own risk.

Note: This novel is part of a loosely-connected series, and features a fully-realised ending.
