Harley Laroux’s standalone novels exist outside the connected worlds of the Souls Trilogy and the Losers series. House of Rayne, published in 2025, is a gothic sapphic romance set on a remote Pacific Northwest island. Salem finds herself stranded at Balfour Manor with the enigmatic Rayne, whose old house holds dark secrets. When a murder reveals the island’s true nature, survival becomes a nightly struggle.
House of Rayne shows Laroux branching out from the demon romances and contemporary dark romance that built their readership. The book combines gothic atmosphere with supernatural suspense and a sapphic love story, keeping the horror-romance blend that runs through much of Laroux’s work while offering something distinct from the Abelaum setting.
