LOOK FOR THE DOORS

an urban adult fantasy romance

All Raegan Maeve Overhill wants is to survive another October. It's the anniversary of the worst thing that ever happened to her: the unsolved disappearance of her father nearly two decades ago. But when mysterious drownings grip the city of Philadelphia, Raegan sets her mourning rituals aside for a career-making opportunity to lead her newspaper's investigation.

Her hunt for answers takes her to the city's shadowy places where magical beings appear in puddles, the Fair Folk offer bargains, and magic is very, very real. When Raegan uncovers a startling connection to her father’s disappearance, she knows she can’t just return to her normal life without discovering the truth. To get it, though, she’ll need to make a deal with the dark, deadly and alluring Unseelie King—and do her best to ignore their dangerous attraction to one another.

Inspired by Welsh mythology, Slavic folklore and Arthurian legend, Beyond the Aching Door is an adult urban fantasy romance for fans of A Discovery of Witches and Dark Night, Golden Dawn. This spicy fae romantic fantasy is intended for readers 18+.

  • These books are written for readers 18+.

  • Both books depict open-door scenes. Though the style of this series calls for language to be more focused on sensuality and feelings than explicit physical body descriptions, both books are spicy. The first book is a slow-burn, so expect a higher level of spice in the sequel.
