Some places find you when you are ready to be destroyed… or reborn.
Hidden behind neon lights and velvet curtains, Velvet Shadows is more than the city’s most infamous underground club. It is a refuge for witches, predators, outcasts, and souls too broken to survive in the ordinary world. Few who enter ever leave unchanged.
Lucien Voss has spent centuries mastering the art of control — control over his power, his past, and the darkness living beneath his skin. Cold, calculating, and dangerously alluring, he has built a life where no one gets close enough to become a weakness.
Until Eli Blackwood.
What begins as a chance encounter quickly spirals into obsession, desire, and a connection neither of them can explain. Eli awakens something in Lucien that should have remained buried, while Lucien pulls Eli deeper into a hidden world filled with blood-bound secrets, ancient magic, and enemies watching from the shadows.
But someone knows who Lucien truly is.
And when a ruthless organization known as the Order of the Black Rose begins moving against them, Eli becomes the perfect target in a war far older than he understands.
As love collides with danger, Lucien must decide how far he is willing to go to protect the man who has become his greatest weakness — even if it means unleashing the monster he has fought to contain.
Lost in Velvet Shadows is a seductive gothic paranormal romance filled with forbidden attraction, supernatural mystery, dark magic, and the terrifying realization that love can either save you… or consume you whole.
