Description

One house holds a deadly secret...

Ever since Declan Fitzgerald saw the dilapidated Manet Hall on the outskirts of New Orleans, he's been enchanted—and obsessed—by it. Determined to restore the rooms to their former splendour, Declan begins the daunting renovation. However, spending his days in total isolation in the empty house is taking its toll. Local legend has it that the house is haunted, and Declan starts seeing visions of terrible grief and horror from long ago. With every day that passes, the house tightens its hold.

When he meets the alluring Angelina Simone, he's glad of the distraction. But Angelina has her own surprising connection to Manet Hall—a connection that will help Declan uncover a secret that's been buried for a hundred years...
