Books by Laurie Clark

A woman haunted by her past. A man haunted by his gift. A demon determined to have his fun. 

Ryder has the power to send souls to heaven, whether they deserve it or not. As a sin eater, he can send them to a peaceful eternal rest, as long as they can pay him – an arrangement he has become increasingly uncomfortable with. When sadistic Isaiah Borden hires him to use his talents, Ryder finally draws the line. Or at least he tries to. 

Ashley has been living with depression and pain for over a decade, ever since the night Borden violently killed her sister. With Borden’s death she thinks she might find some peace. But it is only the beginning of an all new level of hell. 

The Cinderman, like Ryder, is a sin eater. He could send souls to a peaceful, eternal rest, but as a demon he can’t resist sending innocent souls to eternal damnation – just like he can’t resist innocent yet tormented Ashley.

It is up to Ashley and Ryder to stop the Cinderman – but they have to defeat their own demons first.

Life falling apart? Obsessed with getting revenge on your enemies and can’t stop thinking about their horrible haircuts? Debt piling up? Hating your job? Absolutely no self-confidence, which pretty much means you feel like you can’t do anything at all and therefore you’re not sure what to do next?

Why not chuck it all, stay home in your jammies, and write a romance novel? Except, without so much romance, because you don’t know how to do that. And, plagued with doubts every step of the way. And always thinking about your debt – never forget about the debt!

What if the Universe told you to write a romance novel instead of getting a “real” job? Would you listen, or would you take another soul-sucking job and force yourself to go to it every day with a fake smile pasted on your face?

Will the heroine in Melancholy’s Captive make the right decision? Which path will she take? Read the book and find out!
