Rough Hewn

Elise thought the worst thing about inheriting her grandmother's crumbling bed-and-breakfast was the failing plumbing and warped doors—until the front door groaned, warmed under her touch, and stepped out of its frame as a rough-hewn, very aroused man bound to the house by a witch's curse. Now every creak, sigh, and shudder of the old inn is him—watching, wanting, and fighting the witch who would claim his power and erase Elise along with it. Trapped between a furious sorceress and a living structure that responds a little too eagerly to her every gasp, Elise must decide whether to run… or lean into the dark, splintered magic that wants to make her part of the house forever.
