Novels by Eunoia

I took the job because I needed money. That was the only reason. I didn't care who Lucien Blackwood was, why people lowered their voices whenever they mentioned his name, or why the mansion he lived in felt more like a beautiful prison than a home. I only needed the salary. Then I learned about the rules. Don't touch anything that belongs to Mr. Blackwood. Don't ask questions about his past. And above all— Never enter his bedroom after midnight. I broke the last rule on my third night. I expected to find a secret. I didn't expect to find Lucien. Barefoot. Half-dressed. Watching me like he'd been waiting for me to walk through that door. After that night, nothing between us felt innocent anymore. Lucien has a way of getting under my skin without touching me. A look across the dining table. A whispered warning in an empty hallway. His hand lingering a second too long when he passes me something. He knows I want him. What scares me is that I want him to know. But Lucien isn't simply a wealthy man with too many secrets. He's hiding something. And the closer I get to him, the more I realize that my job was never really about managing his house. He knew my name before I ever met him. He knew things about my past that I had never told anyone. And that night I walked into his bedroom? Maybe he wasn't surprised to see me after all. Maybe he wanted me there. Because in Lucien Blackwood's world, nothing happens by accident. Not desire. Not secrets. And certainly not me.
