Ravished in Red

In the heart of a city where shadows whisper secrets and danger prowls the streets, mortal Elias Hawke finds himself drawn into a world far darker—and far more intoxicating—than he ever imagined. When he encounters the enigmatic and immortal Lucien Blackthorne, Elias is swept into a labyrinth of gothic opulence, supernatural power, and forbidden desire. Lucien is both predator and protector, centuries old and bound by a cursed hunger that threatens to consume all who dare draw near. Yet for Elias, fear is inseparable from fascination—and attraction is impossible to resist. From the first electric glance in a rain-slick alley to a masked gathering dripping in velvet and candlelight, Elias is drawn deeper into Lucien's world. Every encounter pushes him further: erotic tension sparking in private chambers, dark bargains struck under the cover of night, and the thrill of danger mingling with the heat of desire. As their bond intensifies, the mortal and the immortal must navigate trust, temptation, and peril, learning that love and lust often come wrapped in shadow. But Lucien's enemies are many, and the darkness surrounding them is relentless. Can Elias survive the intoxicating pull of the forbidden—and can Lucien protect him without losing himself entirely to his cursed nature? Ravished in Red is the first installment in The Devil's Gentleman series, a dark, gay paranormal romance that blends gothic suspense, sensual passion, and emotional intensity. Enter a world where danger and desire collide, and where surrendering to temptation can be both deadly—and unforgettable.
