Blackthorne House does not haunt.
It keeps.
When Mara crosses the threshold of the decaying Blackthorne estate, she believes she's stepping into solitude-not obsession. The house watches her. Learns her. And when Lucian appears, bound to its walls by something that feeds on devotion, Mara realizes too late that the house is alive for one reason:
Love makes people stay.
As days blur and memories fracture, the house tightens its grip, rewarding surrender and punishing defiance. Every attempt to leave costs something. Every act of love becomes leverage. And the deeper Mara falls for Lucian, the more the house demands she choose between safety and survival.
But love was never meant to be owned.
Roses Grow From the Dead is a gothic psychological horror romance about obsession disguised as protection, devotion twisted into captivity, and the dangerous truth that love can become a cage when consent is taken away.
This is the first book in The Blackthorne Duology.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
Gothic romance with dark, atmospheric settings
Psychological horror that lingers long after the final page
Slow-burn love stories shaped by obsession and control
Dark romance with emotional depth and real consequences
Some houses are haunted.
Blackthorne House wants you to stay.
