From USA Today bestselling author Jeneane O'Riley comes the next in a series of deliciously dark and whimsical standalone romances.

She brought him back from death.

Now he is the one thing she cannot survive losing.

In 1795, in a shadowed city of the Holy Roman Empire, Victoria Frankenstein is invisible: brilliant enough to rival any scientist, yet condemned to silence in a world that forbids women their power.

When her miracle surgeon father falls gravely ill, grief drives her to a heretical act. Beneath candlelight and prayers long abandoned, Victoria stitches life from death and calls a man back into cold flesh and waiting lungs.

What rises from her table is not a monster.

Bound to her by blood, breath, and the terrible intimacy of creation, he belongs to her in ways no living man ever could―and he knows it. He watches her. Learns her. Wants her with a hunger that borders on worship, and a possessiveness that should frighten her.

As desire coils into obsession, Victoria must face the truth she has always feared: being wanted by her creation is a power she cannot control. His devotion is absolute, consuming, and beautiful, and in an empire that burns women for reaching beyond their place, loving him may be the most dangerous act of all.

Because she did not simply give him life. She made herself his reason for living.

And love, once stitched into existence, does not let go.

Also known as A Secret in the Garden Book 2.

Jeneane O'Riley

Jeneane O'Riley is a dark romance author who thrives on exploring the complexities of love, power, and vulnerability. With a deep affinity for creating strong, fiercely independent female protagonists, her stories dive into the shadows of desire and the transformative journey of self-discovery. Her characters are often caught between worlds, their hearts torn between duty and forbidden love, all while enduring the emotional turmoil that comes with the search for true happiness.

Her journey as a writer began with a love for stories that dared to push boundaries—tales that examined not only the beauty of love but its darker, more twisted facets. Drawing inspiration from the world around her, Jeneane crafts intricate, emotionally charged narratives that resonate with readers seeking a blend of passion and peril. The Infatuated Fae series, which began with How Does It Feel? in 2023, was her first foray into combining fantasy and romance with an edge. The series has continued to captivate audiences with its richly developed characters and its ability to balance heart-stopping romance with darker elements.

While Jeneane may spend her days crafting worlds where pain and love collide, she finds balance outside of writing with her family—her husband, their three children, and her beloved Irish Wolfhound, Murphy. A self-professed lover of nature, her hobbies extend beyond the page, with a particular interest in mycology, the study of fungi. When she’s not lost in a new book or dreaming up the next twist in her series, you’ll find her exploring the great outdoors, finding inspiration in the simplest moments of life.

Known for her strong heroines and emotional storytelling, Jeneane O'Riley’s work is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a darker, more intense take on romance. Her books offer readers a journey into worlds where love is hard-earned but always worth the fight, and where the scars of the past shape the future in unexpected ways. As her Infatuated Fae series continues to unfold, readers eagerly anticipate what’s next in this tale of magic, danger, and undeniable chemistry.
