When reclusive Sidonie Moreau demands repayment for a decades-old betrayal, she expects Simon Donovan to appear on her doorstep. Instead, his son arrives.
Matthew Donovan, a struggling artist, finds himself drawn into Sidonie’s haunting world—a gothic mansion nestled in a wintry wilderness and a woman whose allure is as enigmatic as it is unsettling. She makes a chilling request: his blood, freely given, each night. No coercion. No harm. But always the question, and always his answer.
What begins as reluctant captivity becomes a complicated dance of temptation and despair. As days blur into nights, Matthew is seduced not just by Sidonie’s sorrowful grace, but by the secrets that bind them both.
In this haunting twist on Beauty and the Beast, love demands a price only the heart can weigh.
