Echoes In The Ink

Archival librarian Kestrel Sterling arrives at the isolated Vane Estate, ready for just another job. But Ransom Vane, the estate’s reclusive and imposing owner, immediately shatters her professional composure with his intense gaze and unspoken demands.

Hired for an "emergency" cataloging of his sprawling, gothic library, Kestrel soon finds herself trapped by a fierce coastal storm and by Ransom's unsettling certainty that she belongs only to him. He moves through his ancestral home like a shadow, always watching, always near, making it clear she’s not just a temporary employee.

As the storm rages and boundaries blur, Kestrel begins to question everything about her assignment. The job might be a lie, but the undeniable pull between them is dangerously real. He’s decided she’s his, and Kestrel must choose: escape the storm and the man who claims her with every look, or surrender to a desire that could change her life forever.
