Recent Release: SkyBlue by M.P. Halliday

A breathtaking fantasy retelling of Bluebeard with vivid prose and a Gothic-imbued setting, perfect for fans of Erin Craig, Adalyn Grace, and Autumn Krause.

A desperate girl.

A cursed man.

A disturbing secret.

19-year-old Beatrice Tilney embraces potential spinsterhood, preferring independence to the indignities of marrying for money or social status. But when her father dies, leaving her family penniless, Beatrice must sacrifice what she values most—her heart—to protect those she loves.

She enters a marriage of convenience with Monsieur Dumas, a Frenchman with an adventurous past and an enticing present. Despite being showered with riches in her new manor, a strange darkness lurks in its corners and in Dumas' heart.

At times, Dumas seems to transform from an alluring gentleman into a monstrous being consumed by rage. Still, Beatrice begins falling for the man burdened with a curse too dark to share.

She must unravel the magical secrets Dumas hides and unlock the truth buried deep within his heart before an ancient evil destroys them both forever.

"Fans of House of Salt and Sorrows are sure to love this wildly stunning retelling of Bluebeard." -Autumn Krause, Penguin Random House author of Before the Devil Knows You're Here
