Fresh out of high school, Raina Fairview is ready to leave her small-town life behind for the excitement of college. She’s prepared for new classes, new friends, and maybe even a little freedom. What she’s not prepared for is Kevin masters, mysterious, sharp-eyed, and colder than the shadows he seems to slip into so easily. From the moment they meet, Kevin keeps his distance… yet never takes his eyes off her. He challenges her at every turn, questions every choice she makes, and always seems to be there, watching. Raina should find him infuriating, but there’s something about him she can’t ignore. Something dangerous. Something impossible. The closer she gets to him, the more the world she thought she knew begins to unravel. Whispers of secrets, flashes of hunger in his gaze, and an attraction that feels like it’s pulling her into a place she can’t come back from. And when the truth finally shatters the fragile line between them, Raina will face a choice that could change her forever, embrace the darkness… or lose him to it. In Veins of Desire, love is a temptation, eternity is a curse, and one heartbeat can be the last.

Annie Hall is all business, especially when it comes to closing a high-stakes real estate deal before year’s end. So when her firm sends her to the snow-covered countryside to sell the grand, aging Winterbourne Estate by New Year’s Eve, she’s prepared for paperwork, tough negotiations, and holiday cheer… not ghost stories. Winterbourne is a sprawling Gothic manor draped in December magic, hosting lavish parties and festive gatherings to entice potential buyers. But amid the laughter and candlelight, Annie senses something else, something watching. Whispers drift through the halls, roses bloom in rooms long sealed, and a tall, captivating stranger keeps appearing in the strangest places. At elegant dinners. In crowded ballrooms. Always watching her. The locals speak of a phantom tied to the estate, a presence cursed to wander its halls. Annie tries to ignore the warnings, but her encounters with the mysterious man grow more intense—more personal. What begins as curiosity turns into an undeniable connection, one that shakes her sense of reality and awakens her heart in ways she never expected. As the deadline to sell the estate closes in, Annie must unravel the haunting mystery of who he truly is. Because love doesn’t always wait for permission. And some souls refuse to be forgotten.
