He has waited five hundred Septembers. She has one life to decide.
Brenda is a therapist who has built her whole life around a lock. Deadbolt, chain, third floor. Then a worn treatise on lucid dreaming puts her on the porch of a farmhouse that shouldn't exist — and in the doorway stands a man who says he has been there five hundred harvests, and that he is not the one who leaves.
Lucien can't come to her. Every crossing costs her something, and the distance never closes on its own. As the dreams turn into visits and the visits into a home, the questions she is trained to ask stop mattering — and the one she can't answer takes their place: what does a woman leave behind to stay?
Five Hundred Septembers is a closed-door, time-crossed paranormal romance about coercive love and the other kind, about a family found five hundred years apart, and about a threshold you only cross once.
The Threshold Series, Book One.
Content note: coercive control by a former spouse, pregnancy loss, sudden death, addiction and recovery. Closed-door romance.
About Eliza
Eliza Millbrook writes time-crossed paranormal romance set against the ridges and hollows of Appalachia, where the past is never quite past and the mountains keep their own secrets. She grew up in Kentucky, reading Victorian love stories on the living room floor and, later, driving back roads looking for the farmhouse in this book. Five Hundred Septembers is her debut and the first of The Threshold Series. Book Two is coming.
