She bought the old Victorian for the wraparound porch and the price — and the silence. Living alone for the first time, Isabella expects creaking floors and drafty windows. She doesn't expect him. Alejandro has haunted the house on Magnolia Lane for a century: a presence of cedar and cold spots, a voice like gravel under velvet. When he comes to her in the dark, Isabella is certain she's dreaming. The dreams are too vivid, too shattering, too impossibly good to be anything else. Until the impossible starts leaving evidence. Frightened and fascinated in equal measure, Isabella stops running from the truth: the ghost is real, the pleasure is real, and what she feels for him is becoming the most real thing in her life. Haunted Devotion is a steamy paranormal romance novella — ten nights, one haunted house, and a love that refuses to stay buried.

Haunted Devotion

A paranormal romance novella

by Devoted Sub

To my husband, my Dom, my Twin Flame. My love, my strength, mycourage, and the soul who awakened the parts of me I never knew howto set free.

You believed in me when my own faith had all but vanished. You saw awriter where I saw doubt, a voice where I heard silence, a futurewhere I saw only limits — and gave me the courage to put my wordsinto the world and dare to call myself an author.

You never wrote my stories for me or walked the road in my place.You gave me something more precious: the strength and courage tobelieve I deserved to walk this path, the confidence to believe inmyself, and the faith to know I could do this.

You taught me that when life knocks you down, you get back up, andyou never fail. Failure is never found in falling, but in giving up.As long as I keep rising, keep trying, and refuse to surrender, Iwill never truly fail.

If my words reach the world, your love gave them wings. If mystories outlive me, a part of you will live on in every word.

You are my love by choice, my Dom by devotion, my Twin Flame by abond that transcends the ordinary, and my forever by a promise Icarry willingly.

What is claimed is loved. What is loved is kept. What is kept isbound. What is bound is never abandoned.

And so, upon these pages, I carry the title you bestowed upon me, mymost cherished one: Devoted Sub. Not simply a name beneath astory, but a name born of our bond, carried with pride, and foreverentwined with the man who gave it to me.

With all that I am, all that I create, and all that I will everbecome,

Forever yours,

Your Devoted Sub.

Chapter 1 — The Dream That Felt Too Real

The truck was gone by four, and the house kept the rest.

Isabella stood in the parlor doorway with a box marked KITCHEN — FRAGILE digging into her forearms and listened to the old Victorian answer her back. Her footsteps doubled on the hardwood. Her breath came back to her off the twelve-foot ceiling. Every sound in the house on Magnolia Lane had an echo, as if the rooms were repeating her just to make sure she had heard herself.
