The Crimson Knot

The Crimson Knot is a dark, seductive fantasy romance where love can be weaponized-and consent is the only true magic. When Nessa returns to the stone keep that haunts her village, she finds Garrick, its feared Warden, bound to ancient laws that keep something ravenous sealed away. But the Hunger doesn't need claws to escape. It only needs a voice. a memory. a name spoken in fear. As Hollowford fractures and a beloved boy is turned into bait, Nessa and Garrick are forced to forge a bond strong enough to withstand manipulation-and strict enough that it can't be stolen.
Every promise must be chosen. Every touch must be asked for. And every "yes" must mean yes. even when the monster wears a familiar face. Because the Hunger doesn't break doors down. It convinces you to open them.
