About this book

Historical fiction writer Vivienne Dupree is chasing ghosts, specifically the tragic, untold love story of her great-grandfather and the enigmatic Lady Harmony. Her hunt for the truth leads her to The Downs, a sprawling, historic English estate that holds far more than dusty archives. What she finds instead is the imposing, arrogant, and undeniably magnetic Battle Talyn, the current Duke of Burleigh, who is as determined to keep his secrets as Vivi is to uncover them.

This atmospheric paranormal romance masterfully weaves a second-chance narrative across generations. While Vivi and Battle engage in razor-sharp banter and a high-stakes battle of wills, they soon realize they are not alone in the manor. Echoes of the past linger in the ballroom, and an unsettling, potentially cursed energy permeates the halls. As they peel back the layers of a decades-old mystery, the tension between them shifts from combative to electric.

If you are looking for a captivating read that blends historical intrigue with a ghostly touch, this story delivers on every front. With its perfect balance of witty humor, smoldering chemistry, and supernatural suspense, it is an irresistible page-turner that proves some love stories are simply too powerful to stay buried.

What this series seems to have is an honest and straightforward MMC and a down to earth FMC and their hilarious banter. Told from Vivi’s POV only.

I bought this book directly from Kristen Ashley at Wild and Windy West book con in Phoenix a few days before the release. Of course she signed it for me. I’ve now also read the Kindle version and listened to the Audible version because I couldn’t get enough of Battle and Vivienne. Also every one of the cast of characters. I spoke in an upper crust British accent for a week after but audio book was finished. I loved everything about this book, but the support and love that Battle and his sisters...

Kristen Ashley is one of my favorite authors, and this book felt like old school Kristen Ashley. I loved it and was so absorbed that I devoured it in an evening. Loved everything about Vivienne and Battle plus the sisters and the other characters. Such a delight! )

Another favorite couple in KA world. I was sucked in from the beginning and the moment Viv met Battle, I was literally squealing. I have soooo many highlights. Battle is a Duke & Vivienne is an American author on her next writing journey which involves parts of the Talyn family history. What starts off with banter and immediate chemistry quickly changes to something more. I adored the dynamic between the siblings. Battle in over protective big brother mode was of course, hot and just made me...
