Kiss The Dark

Sold into marriage to a reclusive man. Megan is dragged to a clandestine midnight ceremony and delivered to Gabriel North. Megan must spend 30 days married to Mr. North before she may finally be free forever. The only problem is that he marries every year only to annul the marriage and his brides are never heard from again. No one knows anything about him except that he is extraordinarily wealthy, and he has an estate high on the mountain above the city that no one is brave enough to visit. Before this Megan Steele had the perfect life. She was a wealthy heiress from a prominent family. Her days were filled with family, travel, parties, and society. Expected to marry at eighteen but unable to bear the thought of leaving her perfect life she turned down one offer of marriage after another. Four years and four suitors rejected, Megan has been proposed to for a fifth time. The suitor is the son of her father's investment partner. Megan made a fatal error with this refusal and placed her desire for freedom above her father's company. She finds herself sold into a forced marriage to Mr. Gabriel North to recoup her father's investment funds. More than that though, Megan swears there is something dark about Mr. North, something dangerous, something otherworldly. Where is the staff that keeps caring for them? How does his house keep changing? Why did his friend call him sire?

Impossible Choices

Gabriel couldn't help but grin as he checked the time again. It was nearly eleven and Megan was still in bed asleep. They had been up late. He slept better last night than he had in ages. Gabriel was glad to see the same held true for his wife. He would have to wake her soon but for now it made him happy that she had found as much peace in them being together as he had.

"Your ridiculous. I haven't seen you in this good of a mood in ever. Seriously, though… You have been checking the time every ten minutes. Are you taking Megan's late rising as a personal accomplishment?" Afton laughed.

"I am actually. Megan hasn't been sleeping well lately. Not since the hotel. I am glad she is peaceful." Gabriel answered in a mild tone.

"Well, we have waited for her long enough. Let's go to the study and go over contingencies for the claim." Afton said standing.

Gabriel stayed where he was. "Nothing will go wrong."
