    About this ebook

    They say you hurt the ones you love most.
    No one ever talks about when they hurt you back.

    Just after dawn on the hottest day East Providence has endured in a hundred summers, Todd, a bit of a ladies’ man, finds his prized rose bush dead. This is only the first in an ever-more-ominous series of events, and someone...or something...is trying to invade his home.

    In the tradition of The Fall of the House of Usher, Ligeia, and Aura comes a gripping tale of love, lust...and regret.
