Devil's Cove: A Victorian Dark Gothic Romance
Blind, trapped, and surrounded by enemies, Grace must strike a dangerous bargain with 'The Devil'—one that could cost her soul.
England, 1880. After a violent childhood attack left her blind, Grace has honed her gift as a medium, using it to bring peace to restless spirits. But when she stumbles upon the body of a dead girl in the woods, Grace’s life takes a dark turn. With the threat of imprisonment in a cruel asylum, her only hope for freedom lies with Devlin, a notorious pirate with a dangerous reputation. But the price for his protection is steep—Grace must move into his haunted mansion and banish the vengeful ghosts that terrorize its halls.
Devlin has spent sixteen years consumed by the need for revenge, and the blind medium is the key to exacting his long-awaited punishment. But when he discovers the truth about Grace’s past, he begins to question the cost of manipulating the innocent woman. The closer they become, the more Devlin fears that the power of the woman he’s sworn to protect may be the very thing that threatens his well-laid plans.
As the dark secrets of their pasts unravel, the line between torment and desire blurs. Will they find redemption in each other’s arms, or will the sinister forces that haunt them both drag them into eternal darkness?
Devil’s Cove is the first book in the Tortured Souls Gothic Romance series—a tale of forbidden love, spine-chilling suspense, and a world where passion and peril are inextricably linked. If you love intense, dark romance with electrifying twists, then this thrilling novel is a must-read.

About the author
R.C. Matthews
81 books286 followersI was born and raised by deaf parents in the Metro-Detroit area along with four siblings. Growing up in a house full of children, there was never a dull moment! We all inherited the reading gene from our father, who is a voracious reader. And the reading gene continues strong in my own two sons. I'm happily married (second time is a charm) to a patient and loving man who always cheers me on from the side-line to pursue my dreams. What more can a girl want?
