Are you ready to become who you were always meant to be?
Ivy
I should never have gone to that work shed in the middle of the night. But I did, and now I'm being held prisoner by the Hartshorn bothers.
Who are killers, apparently. Part of an entire family of killers. And I stumbled right into the center of them.
Now, they're forcing me to participate in their strange rituals. Whispering to me in my blood-soaked dreams-
Something evil's coming.
And I think I'm at the center of it.
Gideon
The worst has happened: Ivy's discovered exactly what my family is.
Exactly what I am.
Now, we have to keep her trapped in one of the house's towers like a princess in a fairy tale. I don't want to be a jailor, but there may be more to my beautiful prisoner than I realized.
But no matter what happens, it's still my job to keep her safe.
Xavier
Gideon thinks all the secrets are out on the table, but there are deeper ones starting to surface. Not about our family.
But about Ivy.
It seems she has a bigger destiny than either of us realized. A destiny wrapped in shadows, blood, and the oldest type of magic.
A destiny that binds all three of us together.
And I know exactly what I'm going to do about it.
A Nightmare in Her Heart is the second book in the Court of the Earth duet. This two-part dark gothic horror romance story features paranormal elements, morally black MMCs, and an HEA. You must read the first book in the duology to understand this one.
It also contains material that some readers may find disturbing. Please review the full list of content notes on the author's website.
