The Ghost’s Second Chance - A Dark Gothic Romance #950988

The fire took her future. Now, the ghost who started it has come to collect.
Isolde Vane is the "Steel Relic" of a dying dynasty, a woman forced to restore the very walls that imprison her to pay off her father's gambling debts. But when the Vane Estate is auctioned off to a faceless shadow, she realizes the nightmare is only beginning.
Elias Thorne was supposed to be dead. Five years ago, he was the boy she loved; today, he is the "Master of Whispers," a man forged in ash and fueled by a vengeance that doesn't care who gets burned. He has bought her name, her home, and her soul with ten million dollars of blood money. He claims he’s here to save her, but his "protection" feels like a new kind of cage.
As the Blackwood Council closes in and a deadly cartel demands their due, Isolde must decide if the man in her bed is her savior or the architect of her father’s ruin. In a valley built on lies, the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all.
He bought her to save her. She’ll stay to destroy him. But in the end, will they both survive the fire?
