Tangled at the Root: A Dark Sapphic Gothic Romance

by Viano Oniomoh

Instead of a home in need of cleansing, Rosemary finds a closed-off ex-best friend insisting she hadn’t called her and demanding she leave.

The last thing Genevieve wants is her ex-best friend poking her nose where it doesn’t belong and making Genevieve hunger for things she can't let herself want.

Then something in the old house traps them inside. Danger and proximity lead to buried, unaddressed feelings resurfacing, along with the reveal of a few shocking secrets.

What happens when your ex-best friend has the overwhelming urge to kill you?

Worse, what happens when you want to let her?
