From Sophie Lark comes a dark gothic romance filled with haunted-house tension, dangerous secrets, and a brooding neighbour everyone in town whispers about.

Remi Hayes is beginning to think she might be cursed. Her fiancé has cheated on her, her younger brother Jude is testing every ounce of her patience, and the crumbling mansion she has inherited from her uncle may be more trouble than it is worth.

Still, Blackleaf Manor could be their fresh start. If Remi can renovate it, flip it, and survive the eerie town of Grimstone, she might finally build a better life for herself and Jude.

Then she meets Dane Covett.

Dane is the reclusive doctor next door, dangerously attractive, impossible to ignore, and surrounded by dark rumours—especially the one about what happened to his wife. When Remi is forced into an uneasy arrangement with him just to access her own property, their tension quickly becomes complicated by attraction, suspicion, and the unsettling feeling that something at Blackleaf Manor is very wrong.

As the renovation turns strange and violent, Remi must decide whether Dane is the danger everyone believes him to be, or whether he is the only person standing between her and something far worse.

Dark, spicy, and atmospheric, Grimstone explores obsession, secrets, trust, and the dangerous pull between fear and desire.
