Elizabeth Hawke is a university researcher who, being intrigued by an isolated town called Blackwood, moves into it to investigate the mysterious deaths that wiped out its population decades ago. Moving deeper into her study, Elizabeth finds the original curse entwined within the town and her own family's bloodline.

Chapter 1 The Invitation

The envelope slipped in under the door, where Elizabeth Hawke sat alone in her cramped university office, papers scattered across the desk. She didn't hear any footsteps, but the creak of floorboards outside the door confirmed that somebody had been there. The envelope was without a return address, save a faint seal depicting a raven.

Curious, Elizabeth opened the letter. Inside was a single note: "Come to Blackwood. Seek the Hawke legacy." Along with this note was an old black-and-white photograph of a forgotten town shrouded in mist, with a figure standing in the distance-a figure that looked uncannily like herself.

Elizabeth had never heard of Blackwood, but something about the name stirred a memory. She delved into research, learning that Blackwood was a small, isolated mining town that had been abandoned overnight after a series of unexplained deaths. She discovered that her great-grandfather had been the last mayor before the town's population vanished in 1923.

Haunted by curiosity, she decided to go. Armed with nothing but her family's journal, she packed her bags and boarded a bus to the forgotten town, unaware of the darkness waiting for her in Blackwood. The town was a ghost town, no one is in sight.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
