Ryan Smith inherited a house from a grandfather he barely knew, in a country he’s never been to. Once he sets foot into the rural village in the South of France, he discovers his grandfather’s name carries a dark scandal that drove the old man to America decades ago.

No one except the frankly gorgeous man who lives on the neighboring estate is willing to explain his grandfather’s ruin, but even then, Ryan knows there’s something more that he’s hiding from him.
Camille Moreau is a reclusive venomologist with a beautiful mouth, a patient stare, and a grief he wears like armor. And he knows exactly what Ryan’s grandfather helped conceal. Decades ago, Ryan’s grandfather was involved with a notorious man whose crimes left bodies, secrets, and silence in his wake.

One of those bodies belonged to Camille’s mother.
Now the old man is dead, his house belongs to Ryan, and Camille believes something hidden on the property may finally expose the truth. Unfortunately, he is not the only one looking for it.

Ryan came to France looking for answers about a grandfather he never loved. What he finds is a legacy of blood, a man with every reason to hate him, and a dangerous kind of devotion that might be worse than the threat hunting him.

Where the Snakes Sleep is a dark MM gothic romance featuring an American trans man, a reclusive French venomologist, an inheritance mystery, obsessive protection, deadly snakes, and love with a venomous bite.
