A Poem in Story... A Short, Gothic Romance...

When Joy Anna escapes to New Orleans for a quiet holiday, the last thing she expects is to fall for a dark, enigmatic stranger who seems both drawn to her and terrified for her. Lewis is beautiful... so sorrowful, and hiding a past bound by a supernatural bargain he can never outrun.

As fog creeps over the French Quarter and shadows stir along the river, Joy Anna is pulled into a dangerous romance that burns bright but cannot last. Something ancient is hunting them, and Lewis is living on borrowed time.

In a city where winter is only pretend and nothing is as it seems, Joy Anna must face a heartbreaking truth...

Some holiday romances are meant to warm the heart...

And some are destined to break it...

A haunting gothic love story of passion, danger, and the price of a second chance...

Plus more gothic, romance poetry included...
