Haunted Hearts Series
Where can you find romance amongst
-
a priceless diamond and emerald necklace, murder and a lover who can't be trusted?
-
a dead aunt who calls late at night from the grave, "Find the will?"
-
a search for a book that could return a demon to his own world?
-
a new-found love overseas, an unpardonable sin and danger?
-
a ten-year memory loss tied to a child's voice whispering "Time to go back…?"
-
a dismembered body, a recluse and night terrors?
-
a family curse, a past love and a present evil?
The answer lies in Red Rose Publishing’s Shadowed Hearts series of novellas that currently includes Dangerous Hearts by Mary Montague Sikes, The Haunting of Hastings Hall by Allison Knight, Heart of the Night by Karen McCullough, Lady in White by Joanna A. McKethan, Null and Void by Jane Toombs, Veil Over Crystal Lake by Cierra James, and Haunted Serenade by Anna M. Taylor. Each tale satisfies as only an eerie, hair-raising, and angst-filled gothic romance can. Seven authors offer seven different settings and satisfying gothic “happily ever afters.” Excerpts can be found and electronic/print copies purchased on the Red Rose Publishing website.
