the realm of you

I didn’t know what was real and what was a dream… all I knew was that I wanted him.

When Marlin Winters awakens one night in the bed of a man she doesn’t recognize—and in a small town on the other side of the country—she’s not sure if she’s dreaming or if she just can’t remember the last several years of her life. She spends the next day trying to piece together the recent events of her real life, while also unwittingly falling for the dark stranger calling himself her fiancé.

Which is why it’s so surprising when she wakes up in a hospital bed the next morning—consumed with darkness and regret. While reality may have found her, Marlin is intent on recovering the happiness she felt with the enigmatic man from her dream. On a whim, she decides to uproot her life and move to the sleepy, Vermont town—the very same one he lived in.

What she doesn’t expect is for both versions of her life to come crashing together in a strange twist of fate.

The Realm of You is a dark contemporary romance about discovering your second chance. Sometimes the mind works in mysterious ways, and in Marlin’s case, it gives her a glimpse of what could have been. Once she gets a taste, she’ll do anything to make it a reality.

*Please note that this book deals with heavy situations such as self-harm and suicide, therefore it may be a trigger for some people. Though I’d consider this a contemporary romance, it’s on the dark side of the spectrum, though it does end with a HEA.
