One night was all it took.
Please note: while Claude and Esmeralda remain the main characters of every book, they will add partners of various genders to their consensually polyamorous relationship over the course of the series..
These LGBT+ dark fantasy romances are as Steamy as they are twisted, and are intended for a mature adult audience.
The Hells of Notre Dame is a Sapphic Retelling of The Hunchback of Notre Dame , and the first book in The Phantom of Notre Dame series: where Hunchback collides with The Phantom of the Opera in the streets of gothic Paris.
If Esmeralda is hell, I\'ll go willingly.
But as each day passes, and the more I fall under her spell, eternal damnation seems a small price to pay.
Our love can only end as it began-in fire.
Our days become longing glances and coded whispers, our nights stolen kisses and caresses on borrowed time, because we both know the inescapable truth.
And with temptation front and center, neither of us have the strength to resist.
But our Lord works in mysterious ways, and before I know it, the walls of Notre Dame become her prison as much as they are my sanctuary.
That would have been the best thing, the right thing.
I should have thrown away her scarf, banished Esmeralda from my mind, body, and soul, and never thought or spoke of her again.
I should have stayed away.
