Some doors are locked for a reason.
Some wives never leave.
Alia has spent her whole life surviving—stealing when she must, brewing illegal potions when she can, and protecting her younger sister at any cost. But when a failed theft forces her into a marriage with the kingdom’s most feared widower, her life changes overnight.
Rahil is wealthy, charming, dangerously patient… and rumored to have buried five wives before her.
Now trapped inside an enchanted manor filled with impossible rooms, glittering luxuries, and unsettling secrets, Alia tells herself she only needs to survive long enough to free her sister and escape. But the more she learns about her mysterious husband, the harder it becomes to separate truth from rumor… and fear from desire.
Then she finds the forbidden door.
And behind it waits a secret no bride was ever meant to see.
WIFE NUMBER SIX is a dark romantasy dripping with gothic tension, twisted obsession, forbidden secrets, and a heroine sharp enough to survive a monster—if she doesn’t fall for him first.
Tracey Stubbs writes dark fantasy romance filled with dangerous love interests, morally gray heroines, gothic worlds, and emotionally addictive twists. Her stories blend haunting fairy-tale atmospheres with modern romantic tension, creating immersive worlds readers won’t want to leave.
When she isn’t writing about cursed marriages, forbidden magic, and women who refuse to stay powerless, she can usually be found collecting story ideas inspired by folklore, mythology, and the darker side of happily-ever-after.
