About Sinclair A. Macabre
Sinclair haunts the ever lovely New England, working in a garden or hiding at home to write. They typically write about love, because they have an overwhelming abundance of it in their life.Their taste fluctuates between dark romances, fantasies, contemporary romance, a little bit of horror, and genre-blending stories. When they aren't crouched over their phone writing maniacally, they can be found lounging with their cat or taking care of their partner's horse.
THE SKELETONS IN OUR CLOSET
For as long as he can recall, Daedalus Macabre has been bound to one rule above all else: Don't Step Out of Line. He's always followed it to the letter—his days spent training in elegant forms of fighting, his nights spent studying in his library, and the breaths between spent lost in the worn keys of his piano. He keeps his head down, and he does what he's told.But when Daedalus moves to Nemoure and meets Cain Sidrelle, his meticulously crafted control and rigorous adherence to the rules seem to disappear overnight. Without realizing it, his entire world narrows down to a pretty rich boy with hair like hellfire. A hellfire that threatens to consume him with every passing smile and shared glance. Still, his mother's expectations are a heavy burden, and her anger only grows with his continued distraction and blatant disregard for her rules. The longer Daedalus allows himself his dalliance with Cain, the more dire the consequences become. Until one day those consequences arrive, and Daedalus is faced with a punishment he cannot run away from.Separated by forces outside their control, Daedalus and Cain must overcome years of distance and longing when fate deems to grant them a second chance. But as others start to find themselves in Daedalus' way, Cain begins to question whether this is the man he once knew, and if there can be any hope for the two of them in the end.FEATURING:

But when Cain's murder comes to light, his world falls apart, shattering into nothing but broken dreams and a broken heart.Two years later, Daedalus is determined to get his love back—no matter the cost, no matter the consequences. Everything comes down to bringing Cain back to life in the privacy of his manor, in ways even he isn't versed in.
