If you love something, you never set it free. You fight for it. And I’ll fight for you.

THE MUSE
The nude sketch was left on my pillow. A sketch of…me. I knew I had a stalker—someone watching my every move from the shadows. I never expected him…
The world knows him as Acheron—a world-renowned, billionaire stage artist who always wears a mask. He’s claimed me as his muse. And he’s created a dark exhibit just for me. Trapped in his underground gallery, I’m not just a historian. I’m his possession. His work of art. And I may never break free.

THE MASTER
She is not simply my muse. She is my masterpiece. Everleigh is mine—my inspiration, my obsession. She is the culmination of every brushstroke, every line, every dream.
She may fight me, but she’ll learn the truth soon enough: there is no life, no freedom, no escape without me. She is the creation I was born to make.

A dark, dual-POV romance that will leave you questioning your life choices…and possibly require therapy. Perfect for fans of Lights Out, Haunting Adeline, and In Love With the Devil…HEA included.
