EXCERPT:

“Good morning,” they say in unison.

“He’s here.” Brennen says in a panic, his face draining of color. “I’ll go greet him.”

“That’s my cue to leave.” Sophie waves to us as she leaves through the fermentation room door.

“Wait…” I frown up at Brennen. “Shouldn’t Sophie be here for this? She is the winemaker after all.”

Brennen scoffs. “No. Sophia refuses to be part of this because she didn’t make the wine. I think her exact words were that she wouldn’t serve this swill to pigs.”

I roll my eyes – that sounds exactly like Sophie. The girl is great and all, but she is the epitome of an elitist wine snob. But that is why we hired her.

As the actual winery owner, Brennen has taken the reins of our family business and spent years trying to fix what our father did to our family name, not to mention creating a rift between my two brothers with me playing referee.

As the attorney for both, I’m able to keep one business separate from the other — Brennen’s winery and Ryan’s conglomerate. If Brennen ever found out that I was working for Ryan too, he’d disown me just like he has Ryan. Fortunately, he doesn’t know. Thank god for client confidentiality laws.

“He’s been crazy all morning,” Isabella says under her breath.

We can hear as Brennen and the critic enter the front doors, “Here we go.” I say out loud.

I stand beside Brennen, offering a professional smile as the critic approaches. But the moment Mr. Dawson looks up, his eyes meet mine, and the color drains from my face.

No. It can’t be.

No.

No.

No.

His mouth opens in shock, too, his gaze flicking over me as if trying to process what he’s seeing. My heart stutters in my chest, my pulse thundering in my ears.

It’s him.

The man from last night. The one I left sleeping in that hotel room this morning. The man whose name I never got because we agreed there was no reason for names. But I know every inch of his body. And he knows mine.

Mr. Dawson—the world-renowned wine critic Miles Dawson—is my one-night stand.

"Call me a monster if you want," I muttered, softer, staring at her lifeless body. "But the monster is just an image I want you to see."

They say we inherit the sins of those who came before us, a curse handed down from father to son, generation after generation. But me—I carry my own sin. A deep, insatiable hunger, a craving for blood that never fades.

Until I saw her.

There was something in her eyes, a spark of warmth in all that coldness. I knew I needed her. I wanted her to come outside, to play in the snow with me, to build a snowman. And maybe… just maybe… if we could be like children again, if we could lose ourselves in the frost and cold, she could save me.

BLURB

This is when the legacy, legends and responsibilities have defined your entire life.

I was born to fulfill my family's birthright, to become the town's resident mortician. To take care of the spirits before the grave keeper brings them back to us. But sometimes a girl wonders, who are you outside of your life's purpose?

And days before my full moon ceremony, I wondered and wandered into a ghost dick of my own.

My name is Harper Hayes and this is my story.

My journey.

And possibly my own episode of Dateline.

🚀 You Shouldn't Have Answered by @iam_a_em

𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐑𝐁  

Aurelia Vale had it all: a perfect family, a perfect fiancé, a career as a piano prodigy, and a future carefully planned before her. Then, in one night, everything disappeared. A tragic accident shattered her life, leaving her as the only one who survived.
When a small ad in the back of a newspaper offers her ninety days of solitude at a cliffside gothic mansion in Mendocino, California, Aurelia takes it as a sign to disappear.
The first night is easy. By the second, she feels eyes on her. Someone is watching her, leaving letters on her doorstep and calling her in the middle of the night. Eventually, she had enough and answered only one call.
And the man who has been watching her finally appears.
“You shouldn’t have answered,” the words she will never forget.
This is a psychological thriller and dark romance set in the 90s, a tragic and emotional story filled with trauma and grief that will stay with you long after the final page.
