Darlington Circus

A Twisted Christmas

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

She came looking for the scoop of a lifetime. She became his life's work.

For investigative journalist Lucy Wryters, the Darlington Circus isn't just a story—it's an obsession.

Arriving just in time for Christmas, the striking black-and-white tents promise the ultimate career-defining scoop. But the moment she steps across the threshold, the lines between reality and illusion begin to blur. She doesn't just find a story—she finds Silas.

Fierce, possessive, and bound by dark secrets, Silas pulls her deep into the circus's hidden realm. Becoming his prisoner shouldn't feel like a fantasy, yet waking up in this world feels like a dream she never wants to leave. But behind the glittering facade of holiday magic, the illusion is starting to fracture.

And she may just become the story.
