A curse bound him to the loch for centuries.
She was never supposed to come home.
Nessa McLeod arrives in the Scottish Highlands expecting nothing more than an inherited cottage and a chance to escape the wreckage of her life for a while.
Instead, she finds Black Thorn.
A village built on whispers.
A loch the locals refuse to approach after dark.
And a man with silver-grey eyes who watches her like he already knows exactly how this story ends.
Caelan MacRae has spent centuries guarding Black Thorn Loch and the darkness sleeping beneath it. The curse binding him to the water has cost him everything — his freedom, his humanity, and every person he has ever loved.
Then Nessa arrives carrying a bloodline the loch recognises instantly.
The pull between them is immediate. Dangerous. Impossible to ignore.
As storms gather over the Highlands and ancient voices begin whispering from the water, Nessa uncovers the truth her family buried generations ago:
Some curses are fed by grief.
And some loves are strong enough to destroy them.
But the loch is waking.
And this time, it wants them both.
