Rival pastry chefs Lydia and Xavier disagree on everything, especially sweets. When sweet lies turn to bitter truths, will their story end in tiers or will their simmering desires consume them altogether?🧁

A grief-torn healer, bent on vengeance against the god who claimed all she loved in death and decay, uses her craft to infiltrate the god’s court—entangling with a haunted heir, plagued by fated dreams of her arrival, who will stop at nothing to unearth her purpose.

#youdeservepit #wip #f #r #a
The House of Hemlock A WORK IN PROGRESS ONE DARK WINDOW meets STARLING HOUSE in this gothic dual POV adult romantic fantasy steeped in grief-torn promises, fate-bound strangers, and simmering tensions— where a house watches, gods scheme, and rot runs deep. The Opening There was truth in blood—meant to spill, drain life, stain the earth, and leave death grinning in its wake. The first gods knew it. They shaped the earth with rivers of it, winding red veins through stone and moss, tangling it into the roots of trees that cracked the sky open with their branches. Blood was the first language, the thread stitching life to decay, shadow to light. It was the beginning and the end, the thread through all things. It sang louder than prayers and bound tighter than oaths. It was promise and debt, offering and curse. The gods demanded it-again and again—until the earth grew slick, not with dew, but with what they were owed. But even gods forget. They never asked what would become of blood left too long untended. It rots. It rises. It remembers. The Vibes •Cursed magic and creeping rot (One Dark Window) •Haunted by prophetic visions (A Study in Drowning) •Nature’s eerie obedience (For the Wolf) •Gothic atmosphere and simmering tension (Down Comes the Night) •Sentient manor hiding secrets (Starling House) •Healing that defies the natural order (The Thirteenth Child) •Connection to death (Belladonna) A dark, spooky, nature-inspired gothic mood
