Chapter 47 - The Mourner's Veil

Synopsis

Seraphine Dusk is a woman haunted. Once the envy of high society, now she roams her crumbling estate draped in black lace, mourning the sudden death of her powerful husband. No one dares approach her. Whispers trail behind her veil—of scandal, of curses, of secrets buried with the man six feet under.

But one man dares step into her shadow.

Elias Morran is young, vengeful, and devastatingly charming. The bastard son of her late husband, Elias arrives with a fire in his chest and hunger in his eyes. He wants answers. He wants what he was denied. He wants her.

Seraphine expects resentment. What she doesn't expect is how quickly grief spirals into something darker. Lust laced with mourning. Desire sharp as shattered glass. Elias wants her to cry—for him. To beg. To break.

And beneath the veil, she begins to unravel.

In a house filled with ghostly silence, The Mourner's Veil is a gothic symphony of pain, pleasure, and the kind of love that ruins you from the inside out.
