Cursed by Darkness
Dahlia Briar - 2021

He says he's keeping an eye on me for my safety, but the way his eyes travel down my body says another story.Daniel Baccarin, my new boss, is treading the line between professional and personal. I wish he'd just cross it already.I thought I had made Jess Caldwell up, because I would only see him in my dreams. But a chance discovery leads me to find photos of me and him together. Except I would remember my first boyfriend, right?Author's note: Cursed by Darkness, Marked by Darkness and Consumed by Darkness are all romance books where the heroine does not have to choose between love interests. They are supposed to be read in the order just listed.Embraced by Darkness, the prequel novella, is MF and its action takes place centuries before the events in Cursed by Darkness. However, it could spoil it, so it is best read after Cursed by Darkness. The series is in the same universe as the Black Widows Academy series and A Harem of Supernatural Hunters series. There is no set reading order for these trilogies, they simply offer the bigger picture for a fictional world I have created and some characters pop up in different books, across series. Post Scriptum:The series contains gothic and horror elements. If you are very easily spooked or creeped out, do not read.If you are a fan of The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, you’re in for a special treat!
