Scarllet Embers

Scarlett Guidry has always known Dust Creek Road was haunted by more than memory.

Her mother keeps salt at the doors. The woods listen after dark. And at twilight, a beautiful stranger named Eclipsus waits at the edge of the trees.

But Eclipsus is not only a man. He is a bound keeper of the Veil, a threshold between Scarlett's world and something ancient, hungry, and awake. As Scarlett is drawn into his dangerous orbit, she uncovers a buried covenant, a bloodline debt, and a family history built on silence, sacrifice, and women who were taught to disappear in order to keep the door shut.

Scarlett was meant to be the next payment.

Instead, she chooses to change the terms.

Southern Gothic, romantic, and haunting, Scarlett Embers is the first book in The Long Bloom, a paranormal romance trilogy about forbidden love, ancestral magic, and the cost of becoming fully awake.
