Widow: A Gothic Reverse Harem

Be sure to read the first books in Thecla's story before picking up the third volume of The Rift Bride!

My husband, my mate, my slave, and my hero.

Four men, and all of them mine.

Some, more willingly than others: but all part of my happy household.

Yet no joy can last forever.

As the Hunter's Guild escalates their campaign

against my husband, violent turns change us all.

But they that teach bloody instruction

Will find what they have taught returned to them.

I will not let them take my husband from me.

Not even if the price must be paid by all of humanity.

Inspired by Bluebeard, Beauty & The Beast, and one or two others, The Rift Bride is a reverse harem gothic romance about a 26-year-old protagonist. This volume is a much faster burn featuring age gap romance, homicidal MMCs, jealous/possessive love, M/M interactions, DDLG, an HFN ending in an HEA series, and just the right amount of angst to balance out the very steamy scenes! 18+

This series is by and large about VILLAINS who will get their happy ending, so be forewarned! Plot content can be dark and triggers include sadism, spanking, kidnapping, reproductive elements, multi-partner activities, bloodplay, and some shocking twists. Reader discretion is encouraged.
