She came home to bury her mother. She didn't expect to fall in love with something that wasn't human.
When Nora Venn returns to the coastal town of Aldwick to settle her mother's estate, she expects grief, paperwork, and a house full of a woman's entire life. What she doesn't expect is Marcus Webb - the quiet, perceptive architect at the local coffee shop who seems to know her in ways that feel both wonderful and slightly impossible.
When Nora Venn returns to the coastal town of Aldwick to settle her mother's estate, she expects grief, paperwork, and a house full of a woman's entire life. What she doesn't expect is Marcus Webb - the quiet, perceptive architect at the local coffee shop who seems to know her in ways that feel both wonderful and slightly impossible.
She also doesn't expect the other one.
The one who watches from the fog. The one who looks like Marcus, moves like Marcus, knows things Marcus was never told. The one her mother spent thirty years documenting in secret journals and left for Nora to find.
When Nora discovers the truth - that an ancient entity has been studying Marcus for years, learning him from the outside in, preparing to replace him entirely - she faces an impossible situation. Because the displacement has already begun. Marcus is losing time, losing memory, losing himself. And the entity responsible is the most honest, most attentive presence she has ever encountered.
The One Who Isn't Him is a slow-burn dark romance and psychological horror novel about identity, obsession, and what it means to be truly known. It is the story of a woman caught between the man she could love and the thing that already does, set in a town that holds its secrets the way the sea holds the cold - completely, and without apology.
For fans of dark paranormal romance, gothic psychological thrillers, and obsessive love interests who are morally complicated and impossible to put down.
If you love slow-burn romance with a creeping supernatural dread, atmospheric coastal settings, and love triangles where one side isn't entirely human - The One Who Isn't Him is your next obsession.
