Once a pawn of kings, Jeanette signs the Scarlet Contract to escape her ruin, only to awaken in a world where demons walk among the desperate and angels sell indulgence by the ounce. As she crosses paths with an enigmatic butler, a noble family cloaked in mirrors, and the shadow of a killer who bleeds cities dry, Jeanette learns that desire can damn as surely as sin-and that redemption may demand a deeper surrender. A tale of beauty, vengeance, and the price of eternity, Jeanette Rouge unfolds across five acts of blood and velvet: The Scarlet Contract. The Devil in Black and Crimson. Mirrors and Monsters. The Sins We Serve. Rouge Eternal.

There are so many warm and fuzzy moments associated with love but the moments that aren't so picture perfect are the ones that stick with you forever. Here's me journaling through some of my wildest romances and greatest heartbreaks.

gaslighting myself. convincing myself while falling apart. I still love him. This is all in my head.

Gaslight is my story, told as honestly as I know how. It is not perfect, linear, or comfortable, because healing rarely is. What you are about to read is a journey through emotional abuse, loss of self, motherhood, mental health crisis, survival, and the slow, painful return to clarity. This book is for anyone who has ever doubted their reality because someone else told them they should. For anyone who has been labeled, minimized, corrected, or erased under the guise of "help." For mothers who were made to feel unsafe in their own love. For partners who stayed because hope felt safer than truth. For those who survived, and for those still trying to.
