A Dark Stalker Romance
by
Westing House stood as a testament to the passage of time. Nestled in a quiet, overgrown garden, its once-stately facade bore scars of age. Faded paint peeled off in delicate layers, revealing weathered wood beneath. The roof, adorned with timeworn shingles, was pitted and sunken from years of elemental exposure.
For Alex, Westing House represents a new beginning. Eighteen years old and fresh from a cruel and uncaring foster system, he’s suffered plenty of setbacks in his short life. But a job as the caretaker for a dilapidated historic house is the perfect opportunity for him to start anew. To get some money in his pocket and have a place to call his own, even if it’s just for a year.
His tentative hopefulness is shattered by the arrival of several creepy messages and presents from someone who signs themselves only as “X.” This person knows everything about Alex, and they want it all—all his deepest, darkest secrets. His body. His heart. When the messages shift from uncomfortably romantic to menacing, where will Alex turn?
He’s lucky to have Gabe in his life. A tall, handsome firefighter with the Emberford FD, he sweeps into Alex’s world just in time to catch wind of the monster that haunts Westing House. Gabe is strong, brave, and fiercely protective. But it may be the case that even Gabe can’t save Alex from the entity that wants Alex all to themselves… on pain of death.
Will Gabe be able to save Alex from the faceless evil that pursues him? Or will their love go up in flames, along with Alex’s sanity?
THOSE WHO FAVOR FIRE is a terrifying dark romance with adult themes. Readers should be warned of scenes containing graphic violence and peril. Discretion is advised.

Felicia M Gibson on Amazon wrote:This book did not end how I thought it would’ve ended. I could’ve guessed who the stalker was but it just didn’t make any sense until the very end. At the end it also doesn’t tell you directly who the stalkers true identity is but from getting glimpse of here and there you can sort of put it all together.
Am I mad how it ended? Definitely not, maybe I’m sick but I am definitely a fan of the stalker.
Okay, so honesty time.
In the beginning I was hesitant. I read Haunting Adeline before this so my expectations for a book to be better and more enticing than that were low. I was not sure how I was going to feel about it.
Boy was I impressed!!! Towards the 4th and 5th chapters I was starting to be brought to my knees by needing more. I have never been so needy to read more in my life.
I love all things dark and twisty, I myself am dark and twisty. I did NOT see it coming though. The climaxing in this book left me literally shaking. The ending, left tears in my eyes as I cried in agony for the poor souls whose lives would be forever altered. Including my own.
I need more. I need to know. I am going to be up all night wondering what if now. Thank you. Hahahaha I can’t wait to read more of their work, this definitely took me on a roller coaster ride I was NOT ready for.
On to the next one I suppose!
But seriously, buy the book. Now.
