Savage Blooms

For as long as Adam can remember, the stories his grandfather whispered—the ones drenched in fog and faery lore—have pulled him toward a crumbling Highland manor. Nicola, his closest friend and the girl who’s been quietly in love with him for years, wants adventure too…and maybe Adam right along with it. So she follows—into the wilds of Scotland, into the storm, into temptation. When the weather turns violent, they’re forced inside the infamous house, where nothing is as it seems. Its owner, Eileen, is unsettlingly charming, her smiles edged with secrets. Finley, her brooding groundskeeper, watches them with a hunger that feels like prophecy. Trapped by the storm. Tangled in faery magic older than the bones of the land. Adam and Nicola quickly realise they haven’t been welcomed—they’ve been claimed. As Eileen and Finley draw them deeper into a world of games, seduction, and beautifully crafted lies, desire becomes a weapon, truth becomes a trap, and the past begins to claw its way to the surface. Bound by spells and sins not their own, Adam and Nicola must decide whether they want to break free of the enchantment… or surrender to the darkness that’s been waiting for them all along.
