The Locked Gallery: A Gothic Dark Romance
By Ember Stone
I came to catalog a dead woman’s treasures. I didn’t know I’d already been entered into the collection.
The Hargrove commission is the kind of job that makes a career: months alone in a Gilded Age estate above the Hudson, indexing a matriarch’s hoard of beautiful, dangerous things. I should have asked why a family that guards its privacy like a religion wanted every object in the house named.

I came to catalog a dead woman’s treasures. I didn’t know I’d already been entered into the collection.
The Hargrove commission is the kind of job that makes a career: months alone in a Gilded Age estate above the Hudson, indexing a matriarch’s hoard of beautiful, dangerous things. I should have asked why a family that guards its privacy like a religion wanted every object in the house named.
Behind a locked door on the third floor, I found out.
A gallery built around me. A year of photographs I never posed for. The small things I thought I’d lost. And Lennox Hargrove — who doesn’t chase what he wants. He acquires it. He has been quietly dismantling every exit from my old life until his house is the only place left that still wants me.
He won’t raise his voice. He won’t apologize. He’ll simply close every door until there’s one left open, and wait to see whether I walk through it on my own.
The terror isn’t the locked room. It’s how quickly I stop wanting out.
The Locked Gallery is a dark, explicit gothic stalker romance with a villain-hero who is never tamed, a heroine who fights with her mind, and a dark happily-ever-after.
For fans of HD Carlton and Navessa Allen. Intended for readers 18+.
