In a house haunted by pain, only a love strong enough to transcend life and death can set her free. 

Fleeing an abusive past, Olivia and her children seek refuge in a crumbling house, unaware of the evil lurking in its shadows. As they learn to rebuild their life, the contractor restoring the house becomes more than just a lifeline. Luke helps them heal, and maybe even helps her love again. Together, they must face the ghosts of the past that threaten to destroy everything they’ve built. They must fight for what is worth protecting.

Josie had big plans for her life. She was young, in love, and certain of her future—until, in the blink of an eye, everything was taken from her. Trapped in a marriage to a man she does not love and a life she never chose, Josie longs for freedom in a world that offers women very little of it. In the rigid confines of the 1910s, escape feels impossible… until the right person enters her life and forces her to question how much she is willing to risk for a second chance.

Told through dual points of view, this modern gothic romance is a bittersweet exploration of women’s resilience, a mother’s fierce love, and the quiet sacrifices made in the aftermath of trauma.
