Luna Foster built Sage & Summit to save broken things. She wasn't prepared for a two-week-old raccoon who would survive against every odd, imprint on two unsuspecting women, and declare permanent, enthusiastic war on the concept of personal space.

This is where the Watched in Darkness world begins. With chaos, found family, and a silver-furred menace who knew he was home from the moment he opened his eyes.

The darkness is coming. But not yet.

... Read moreIf you’re a fan of dark romance that isn’t afraid to mix in moments of humor and genuine heart, the Watch Over Me prequel is an upcoming must-read. I’ve always found that the best stories are those that balance depth and levity, and this novella does that beautifully through its unique characters and engaging narrative. The prequel introduces Luna Foster and the sanctuary she built, Sage & Summit, a place dedicated to healing broken things—both literally and emotionally. It’s rare to see such a vivid portrayal of found family dynamics in romance, where friendships and unconventional bonds carry the emotional weight alongside romantic tension. What truly stands out is Zorro, the two-week-old raccoon with terrible personal boundaries, who somehow becomes the heart of the story and a symbol of hope and chaos tied together. His antics, like stealing sandwiches with a cheeky look, inject much-needed laughter but also serve as a metaphor for the surprises life throws at us. From my experience reading similar dark romance novellas, the emotional resonance comes when you see characters who are flawed yet fiercely protective of each other. This prequel not only sets the stage for the Watched in Darkness series but enriches the universe with layers of grief, friendship, and resilience. The mix of dramatic irony and chaos hinted at promises an intense ride ahead. For those anticipating the darker themes to come, this prelude acts as a calm before the storm, focusing on the tenderness and stubbornness that keeps these characters going. Whether you’re drawn by the romantic tension, the found family aspect, or just want a story that’s equal parts touching and entertaining, this novella is shaping up to be an unforgettable read. Don’t miss out—preordering now means you’ll be ready when the raccoon with terrible boundaries steals your heart in five days.
