The Wicked and the Willing

By Lianyu Tan

Heat level

Steamy

**A destitute maidservant must choose whom to love: her vampire mistress or the woman trying to save her life. *In the Dream House* meets *The Ghost Bride* in a provocative tale of seduction, violence, and despair from lesbian dark fantasy author Lianyu Tan.** *1927, colonial Singapore* Monsters don’t scare Gean Choo. And there are monsters aplenty among the Europeans on sultry Singapore island, all of them running away from something—or someone. When she starts her new job as a lady’s companion, she can’t imagine falling for the impassioned, demanding mistress of Ambrosia Hall, nor the gruff, brooding woman who serves as her lady’s majordomo. The latter holds her heart; the former, her body, blood, and loyalty. Both want her. Both *need* her. **And one of them will die for her.**
