Some houses don't just hold secrets. They have a stomach. Archivist Rue Chastain prefers the honest rot of dead things to the perfumed lies of the living. When she is hired to catalog the decaying Devereaux estate in Georgia, she discovers a history far darker than she imagined. The house is a parasitic organism built on the literal bones of her ancestors. The Devereaux family has used the Chastain bloodline as biological batteries to fuel their wealth for three hundred years.
Lachlan Devereaux is the rotting heir to a stolen empire. Eaten alive from the inside out by his family's curse, he is a prisoner in a sharp suit, desperate for an end to the cycle. When Rue arrives, her clean source-blood makes her the only entity the house is terrified of. She intends to burn the legacy to the ground, and instead of stopping her, Lachlan wants to hand her the match. As the estate violently turns on them, Rue and Lachlan are forced into a toxic, feral alliance.
Bound by ancestral debt and a consuming attraction, they must navigate a crime scene that wants to swallow them whole. I Want to Be the Dirt You Rot In by Lennox Gnash is an unhinged BWWM dark gothic romance blending visceral body horror with an intense enemies-to-lovers tale of revenge and sacrifice.
