Master of Salt & Bones

Keri Lake

A traumatized young woman takes a live-in caretaking job at a gothic seaside mansion owned by a reclusive, feared man known locally as a devil. As she uncovers the dark secrets behind his reputation and his family's cruelty, an intense, forbidden connection forms between them even as old threats close in. The story blends psychological suspense and mystery with a slow-building, intensely dark romance. Readers should expect heavy themes alongside the central love story rather than a light, breezy read.
