Beauty and the Immortal: It started with a dig

[Mature Content] Some things are best left undisturbed for a reason. Especially ones that are buried in the ground.  Thirteen years after the incident at Winchester Manor, Mallory Winchester resides with her uncle and his family. She is to wed a baron. However, Mallory faces betrayal. Desperate, she sets out looking for the buried artefact that she once believed was a joke told by her grandmother.  But what do you do if you don't find the object, but a person instead? And not just any person, but an immortal being who was never meant to see daylight ever again.  Mallory is convinced that whoever created Hadeon Van Doren must have mixed in generous doses of evil, sadistic nature, and dangerously handsome looks. Now, besides her initial problem, she must find a manual to tame this person who is looking at her as if she is his next meal, as well as tame her.

Tragedy of Bonelake

Mallory stood by the window, her fingertips lightly brushing against the cool, misted glass, eyes narrowing as she tried to make sense of the fog-cloaked world outside. The persistent rain blurred the horizon into a hazy grey, turning everything into a cold, wet canvas.

"I thought winter was close, but the weather here..." Mallory's voice was soft, almost swallowed by the unrelenting patter of raindrops against the windowpane.

Beside her, Hadeon gazed out into the opaque curtain of rain, his figure casting a shadow against the dim room. His lips curled in that familiar way, a half-smile of amusement, as if he found humour in the gloom. 

"Welcome to Bonelake, darling," Hadeon drawled, his voice a low murmur that held a hint of mischief. "Where it rains pretty much all the time."
