By Michael Pattison

Available on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.ABOUT VALMONTIn 1848, seventeen-year-old Claire Morel leaves the quiet village of Saint-Félix for Paris, carrying little more than her mother’s memory and the hope of a different life.At Maison Valmont, she finds candlelight, music, silk, discipline, and attention. Its rooms are elegant. Its patrons are refined. Its promises are never spoken plainly.But beneath the glamour lies an older trade — one built on beauty, fear, hope, and the final moments of girls who were never meant to leave.Watched, instructed, dressed, and displayed, Claire begins to understand what Maison Valmont truly wants from her.For readers drawn to elegant gothic horror, adult vampire fiction, dangerous houses, old secrets, and female-led stories of survival.EDITIONSKindle eBook — Available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited
