Discover 'Beautifully Dead' - INDEX-
A paranormal romance serial written by Morgan A. Drake and Joe Gillis
A forbidden Civil War romance. A pandemic conspiracy. An inheritance written in blood.
When Dr. Amelia Everett inherits a cache of 19th-century letters, she expects family historyânot a love story that defies death itself.
1860s, Richmond: Eleanor Caldwell, daughter of a Confederate physician, falls for Thomas Everett, a Union Army chaplain. Their love is already impossibleâthen a mysterious affliction sweeping through military hospitals and battlefields transforms Eleanor into something that shouldnât exist. Something hungry.
Something Thomas might have to choose between destroying or loving.
2025, Boston: Dr. Amelia Everett discovers an unexpected inheritance, and as a modern pandemic spreads with eerie similarities to a Civil War âaffliction,â she teams up with enigmatic historian Elijah Merriweather to decode old family letters and medical journals.
But Elijahâs knowledge runs deeper than any archive could explain. He sees patterns in her deteriorating condition that he shouldnât recognize. And when he watches her fever climb, thereâs something in his eyes that isnât concernâitâs familiarity.
Two timelines. Two impossible romances. One terrifying connection.
Eleanor must hide what sheâs become from the man she loves while learning to control the hunger. Amelia must uncover the truth about her familyâs secrets before her own transformation beginsâand decide whether Elijah is more interested in protecting her or finishing an experiment that started 160 years ago.
This is Gothic romance with teeth. (literally).
Epistolary paranormal fiction for readers who like their lovers star-crossed, their undead sexy and conflicted, and their medical mysteries wrapped in forbidden desire.
Perfect for fans of: Historical paranormal romance ⢠Dual timeline narratives ⢠Epistolary fiction ⢠Lovers divided by war ⢠Sexy undead who actually have to deal with the consequences of their change ⢠Medical horror meets romance ⢠Family secrets that bite back (again, literally)
Content notes: Blood, hunger, love ad consumption, the ethics of immortality, transformation, theological crisis, pandemic setting, Civil War violence, and enough sexual tension to resurrect the dead.
