  Rose Cameron holds the record for bad decisions. Not only did she drop out of grad school to get married, but her husband wasn't who he pretended to be—and his shady business dealings threatened both her reputation and her freedom. With no job, no friends, and her bank account nearing zero, an online job posting offers a place to escape from her shattered life: house assistant in a historic manor in the tiny town of Haven Ridge, Colorado. 
   
   
   
  But the Larkspur House isn't the refuge she expected. For one thing, it's not just a house, but a derelict, honest-to-goodness American castle. For another, the coinheritor of the house—the brusque, uptight Will Parker—makes no secret of his desire to see her gone. He's more interested in selling the place before it crumbles into the Colorado landscape or bankrupts the trust that maintains it. 
   
   
   
  Just when Rose is convinced she's made yet another terrible decision, she stumbles upon hidden secrets within Larkspur House's storied history—ones that could bridge the gap between her and Will, making Haven Ridge her forever home. But try as she might, Rose can't escape her past . . . and her own secrets just might destroy the new life she's begun building.

  Tobias Greene is dead. Or, at least, he was dead, before his ex-boyfriend woke him with news of his missing sister. 
  I wasn’t supposed to be here. Death should have been the end for me. A quiet erasure of all the terrible things I’d done in the almost thirty years of my first life. But then I was awake, and those memories came flooding back in, destroying the peace that had saved me in the crushing dark. To make matters worse, Bastien, the man I loved—and lost—was the one who tore me from Death’s icy grip. I couldn’t remember how things ended between us, but judging by the contempt in his eyes, I would guess it wasn’t pleasant. 
  Lynette was missing. My twin—my better half—vanished the night before she was to succeed our mother as Head of the Magi Council. I was the last one to be seen with her. Then I was murdered. Now, I had to piece together those moments leading up to my death if we were to have any chance of saving Lynette. 
  I wanted to forget the man I was in my first life. But with every step closer to Lynette, my past stalked ever closer. The hearts I’d broken. The lives I’d ruined. The men I’d left behind. 
  I thought I knew who I was, but I was wrong. 
  DEAD WRONG. 
  DEAD WRONG is a plot-driven, magical realism, harem-style M/M romance with plenty of action, lots of magical men, and just the right amount of spice.
