Someone watches me from the shadows. At night, this alluring, dark stranger invades my dreams and during the day, he lingers in my thoughts. He’s bent on destroying me and I don’t know why.
My string of bad luck ends when I’m offered a job I can’t refuse, yet my new employer is…odd. I can’t put my finger on why my brain screams caution. Maybe it’s because my new boss reminds me of the man relentlessly haunting my dreams, threatening to bring back all the hurt I've buried in the past.
I need to escape before the chains of memory crush my soul forever. But who do I trust? The man who offers salvation or the one who promises pain?
This is a standalone story based partly in Erbse, a place of sorcery, dragons, and other mythical beings. If you enjoyed Dragon Touched and Shadowed Serenade in the Dark Hearts Enchanted series by Melissa Riddell, you don't want to miss this standalone novella.
Melissa hates talking about herself in the third person, but she absolutely LOVES writing stories with forbidden romance and the flawed antiheroes who would burn the world to find and protect their true loves. Her favorite stories have always been those told from the antihero or villain’s perspective.
When not contemplating new story ideas, she can be found traipsing around Texas State Parks, herding her cats, studying a new language, or reading.
