Cruel Inheritance

The Hargrove estate. Four brothers who collect what they can't have. A crime the family has spent decades burying.

East Coast Gothic Estates

Old money, older sins: the Hargrove brothers were raised on a single creed, the only way to keep a thing is to make leaving impossible, and each one has built a life around it. Across a string of East Coast gothic settings, from a locked private gallery to a frozen coastal trust, each brother meets the one woman he can't simply acquire, while a buried family crime surfaces one fragment at a time. Interconnected dark romance novels about wanting the wrong things the right way, and what it costs a family to keep its worst secret standing.
