About The House of the Damned: Sin & Deceit:
Some cages are gilded. Others are built from lies.
Georgia was raised to be the perfect wife—a dutiful daughter, a vision of grace, a sacrifice for the family name. When she is wed to a wealthy but unfeeling man, she resigns herself to a life of quiet obedience… until a chance encounter ignites a forbidden passion.
Carlisle is everything her husband is not—captivating, rebellious, intoxicating. With him, she glimpses a future beyond the suffocating expectations of her past. But love, like all beautiful things, can be a deception.
What begins as an escape spirals into a waking nightmare as Georgia finds herself ensnared in a web of manipulation, secrets, and a sinister revenge she never saw coming. The house she once ran to becomes her prison. And the man she thought would save her may be the one who destroys her.
In this chilling gothic tale of obsession and betrayal, love is a weapon, trust is a lie, and the truth may come too late.

Author Bio:
Hi, I’m June—a storyteller, a dreamer, and a firm believer that writing should never be confined to a single box. Life is full of twists, turns, and unexpected moments, and I love weaving those elements into my stories.
I’m a single mother to a beautiful teenage daughter who inspires me every day. She’s my greatest joy, my biggest supporter, and the reason I strive to create worlds filled with hope, resilience, and adventure. We share our home with Lizzy, our lovable, lazy cat who I’m convinced is Garfield reincarnated—minus the lasagna obsession (though she’s working on it).
When it comes to my pen names, J. E. Spears—my maiden name—is reserved for the series I create, while June Calva is where my standalone, cross-genre stories come to life. Because to me, writing is like people—it shouldn’t be forced into a single category. We’re made up of different layers, emotions, and experiences, and the same goes for the stories we tell.
At the heart of it all, I write because I love it. Because stories connect us. And because there’s nothing better than getting lost in a good book.
Welcome to my world—I’m so glad you’re here.
💛 June
