Free Audiobook : House of Rayne, by Harley LaRoux

Salem never pictured her escape route looking like this: a choppy ferry ride to Blackridge Island, far from the sun-soaked beaches she was meant to honeymoon on. Ditched at the altar and fleeing her old life, she washes up at Balfour Manor, a sprawling old place that feels more like a living thing than a bed and breakfast. The salt air bites, the fog clings, and right away, there's Rayne, the enigmatic owner whose sharp gaze and quiet intensity pull Salem in like the tide.

Rayne's world is woven with shadows she keeps tucked away, but Salem's arrival stirs something restless in the house's creaking bones. Late nights over flickering candles turn into confessions whispered against rain-lashed windows, where stolen touches ignite a heat that defies the chill. Yet as the island's eerie quiet gives way to whispers in the walls and flickers in the dark, Salem starts to wonder if the pull between them is fate or something far more tangled.

In the heart of this mist-shrouded haven, love blooms fierce and forbidden, laced with the thrill of the uncanny. It's a tale that wraps around you like velvet ropes, drawing you deeper into a dance of desire and dread, where every heartbeat echoes with the promise of secrets worth unraveling.
