Some inheritances come with instructions. Thessaly Marrow’s comes with a ledger, a locked back room, and a debt she never knew she owed.

When she arrives in the fog-bound town of Hallow’s Reach to sell her late grandmother’s antique shop, Thess expects dusty furniture and a quick payday. Instead, she finds a centuries-old accounting of favors granted by the town’s vampire family, and the terrible, quiet price extracted from every desperate soul who ever accepted one.

Osric Vane, the werewolf enforcer bound to the Voss family by his own father’s debt, is sent to watch her. He isn’t supposed to fall for her. She isn’t supposed to trust him. Neither of them expected a fog-choked antique shop to become the one place either of them felt free.

As Thess digs deeper into her grandmother’s failed attempt to break the ledger’s hold, she uncovers a truth that changes everything: she isn’t only the shop’s new owner. She is a debtor herself, bound by blood to an obligation that has silently shaped her family for generations, including the mother who vanished without a word when Thess was six years old.

With Cressida Voss watching every move with icy precision, and her son Ambrose maneuvering to turn the ledger into something far more ruthless, Thess has one narrow chance to end the cruelty that has ruled this town for two hundred years, if she’s willing to risk her own life, her own future, and the man who has never once asked her to be anyone other than exactly who she is.

A slow-burn romance wrapped around a gothic mystery with real teeth, THE BLOOD MOON LEDGER asks what we truly owe the people we love, and what it costs to finally, fully, pay it forward.

Perfect for readers who love fated mates, morally complex villains, found family, and small towns with very large secrets.
