About the book
Losing your virginity is a big deal, but voluntarily offering it up on a silver platter at an exclusive sex club . . . that’s just messed up. It was dark, and in my defense, he was tall, muscled, and smelled like the most tempting sin.
I couldn’t resist, and the second he touched me, I knew I was never going to be the same. It was a night filled with the kind of intensity a woman could only ever dream of. Nothing could have tainted such perfectness. At least . . . that’s what I thought.
Because the delicious man I let rail me into oblivion isn’t the perfect stranger I thought he was. No, he’s anything but. The man who growled desperate filthy words in my ear and made my skin shiver with desire is a man I’ve known and craved all my life.
My brother’s best friend.
Izaac Banks has been off limits since the beginning of time, going out of his way to make sure I know that he’s unattainable. But despite my brother’s objections, I love him. I always have, and now that I’ve had a taste of the sweetest forbidden fruit . . .
There’s no turning back.
I need more, and there’s only one way to get it—
I’m going to offer him an ultimatum he simply can’t refuse.

The Lark Notes:
I have always been fascinated by true crime, as well as by villains and anti-heroes. A serial killer is, of course, the ultimate anti-hero — the baddest of the bad boys. Redeeming a character who starts so evil was a challenge that inspired me to entirely new heights and entirely new depths. Come on this darkly sensual and utterly brain-bending ride with me! — Sophie
"There Are No Saints” is the first book in the Sinners Duet. Reader be warned: this book contains extremely dark themes that might be triggering to some. This is a steamy serial killer romance that will take you on a journey through the twisted mind of an artist on the brink of madness.

About the book
What if love itself is the greatest threat?
Welcome to Blackwood Manor—where even the shadows keep secrets you weren't meant to discover.
I thought I was taking just another caretaker position at a crumbling Gothic estate in the English countryside. How wrong I was. The Blackwood family mansion harbors something darker than neglect, wrapped in whispers and forbidden romance. My unwanted gift as a medium lets me hear ghosts, and now I'm tangled with someone who shouldn't exist. But there's more than heartbreak haunting these walls—something hungry watches from the corners, and it wants us both. The deeper I fall into this dark romance between living and dying, the clearer the mystery becomes: my heart might be the only key—or the trap—that seals our fate.
Step into my world if you dare, but consider yourself warned: some thresholds can't be uncrossed.

Gothic Romance · Romance
Our take
A woman who survived the shadows returns home and finds danger waiting in a different form.

This southern gothic romance blends bayou folklore, isolation, violent memory, and dark desire on an island shaped by secrets.
Choose your retailer
About the book
In the Louisiana swamplands, ghost stories are as much a part of childhood as chasing fireflies and crawfishing. They never much scared me, though, nor the possibility of evil out to do me harm. Until the night I watched shadows come to life and butcher everything I loved.
With a stranger's help, I managed to escape to an isolated place miles north, and, in time, became my own ghost story. A cautionary tale for the locals. Nearly a decade passed, before I returned to my birthplace, in hopes of unearthing long-awaited answers. Instead, I found something I wasn't looking for. Someone. A remedy for my loneliness.
Or so I thought.
Turns out, Thierry Bergeron is no elixir. He's a deadly poison, cursed by the demons of his past, and feared by those who call him the elusive Rougarou of the bayou. A devious rogue, whose seductive whispers and rough hands haunt my dreams. The big bad wolf that defiles me without apology, or remorse. I should resist him, but I can't.And when the shadows return to stake their claim on me, his darkness is the only safe place to hide.
The Isle of Sin and Shadows is a modern southern gothic contemporary standalone romance, set on a darkly enchanting fictional island.
