I came to Blackwood Manor to claim an inheritance. I thought I was getting a dusty old estate and a quick payout. instead, I walked into a frozen tomb.
A blizzard has buried the road. My car is dead. The phone lines are cut. And I am realizing, with terrified clarity, that the legends about this house are wrong. The ghost of Blackwood isn’t a spirit.
He is a man of flesh, blood, and violence.
Wesley Howe is a monster. Scarred, masked, and living in the secret tunnels behind my bedroom wall, he has been watching me for months. He knows my secrets. He knows my fears. And now that I’m trapped in the snow with him, he’s decided he’s done hiding.
He claims he’s protecting me. He says the friendly local Sheriff is the real devil, and that if I step outside, I die.
But safety with Wesley comes at a price. He doesn’t just want to save me. He wants to keep me. He demands my obedience, my trust, and my body to keep us both warm.
I have to make a choice: Freeze to death in the storm, take my chances with a killer cop, or surrender to the beast who waits in the dark.
I thought I was the owner of this house. I was wrong. I’m just the pet he finally decided to let inside.
