Locked away from her hometown and haunted by a family's deadly legacy, attorney Marlena thought she'd escaped Hemlock Falls forever. But when her brother is chosen as the sacrificial tithe for a chilling Thanksgiving ritual, she's dragged back to the cursed woods and the monstrous secret her ancestors swore to feed.
Hemlock Falls doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving-with each year, it survives it. The Harvest Hunt isn't a feast, but a blood pact paid to the ancient Warden-a creature threaded from darkness, root, and vengeance that guards a supernatural gate. When Marlena offers herself in her brother's place, she upends a centuries-old bargain. Caught between the town's cruel elders and the monstrous warden Malachi-a being who claims her as his, marking her with possessive, otherworldly power-she must navigate a chilling blend of gothic horror and primal romance.
Trapped in the Warden's lair as Thanksgiving approaches, Marlena's defiance thwarts the town's traditions-and awakens Malachi's ancient hunger. To save her brother, she must forge a bond deeper than tradition, risk losing her humanity, and embrace a love more feral than any holiday could promise. As the woods close in, only a forbidden romance can challenge the darkness and carve out new rules for survival-and desire.
If you crave Thanksgiving romance with razor-sharp teeth, dominant monsters, dangerous pacts, and a heroine who refuses to break, discover the pulse-pounding gothic passion of The Warden's Thanksgiving Sacrifice.
