Reflections of Silence

Bred on secrets and betrayals and sold to a man she doesn't know, Gisella travels across oceans into the arms of a monster intent on devouring her. My world is flipped on a journey to the New World with a gaggle of women I don't know. All my belongings are stuffed into a tiny box, and the ship's crew call us the Casket Girls. Rumors abound that we are the ghouls below decks, except it's not the monsters we are that we're afraid of, but the man I'm sent to marry.

When a shadowed stranger whisks me away from the abbey I'm sent to in the middle of the night, my new life begins. But this place is nothing like France. Raw, uncivillized. My husband won't rise during the day, the servants refuse to speak to me, and the curtains are never opened in the large house that's mostly empty, blocked away from the world.

Until I meet him. Sebastian. Then I discover what manner of monster I married...

And the one I carried across oceans that resides within me.

REFLECTIONS OF SILENCE is the first book in the SILENT SENTINELS duet and a spicy, stand alone read.
