About this book

Carter has always been drawn to the dark allure of Redwood Manor, a place steeped in local legend and chilling ghost stories. His curiosity shifts into obsession after a supernatural encounter at a Halloween ball, where a single, electrifying kiss with a mysterious man leaves him breathless. When the stranger vanishes into the shadows of the mansion, Carter ignores every warning to stay away, determined to uncover the truth behind the manor’s century-old curse.

The man of his dreams is Ezekiel Warren, a grumpy, elegant ghost bound to the crumbling estate. As Carter peels back the layers of the mansion’s tragic history, he finds himself caught in a dangerous dance between the living and the dead. Their connection is as haunting as it is undeniable, blending a classic grumpy-sunshine dynamic with the eerie, atmospheric tension of a historical haunting.

This paranormal romance delivers the perfect balance of heart-pounding scares and soul-stirring emotion. While Redwood Manor is a place where dead things linger, Carter has never felt more alive than when he is in Ezekiel’s arms. If you are looking for a captivating tale of love that defies the boundaries of time and mortality, this gripping story is your next must-read obsession.

Carter and Zeke

January 16, 2024

What a wonderful installment to the series. Although I’m looking forward to more, I’m sure Carter will always be my favorite MC. This was a lovely story of love, friendship, heartbreak, and hope with some mystery and ghosts thrown in for good measure. Looking forward to meeting new characters in the next but also hoping there’s a dedicated HEA out there for a couple prominently featured in this one at some point. )

So when I saw that there was going to be a second book focused on Carter and Redwood I wondered if it could match the beauty of the first book. I can honestly say that not only did it but surprised it. Carter and Zeke were great together and Redwood was so creepy and scary! This book is a perfect balance of scary and romantic, sweet and creepy which is a combination you dont find often. It was well worth the read and...

Well, I thought the first book was excellent, but now it’s hard for me to decide between the two as to which is my favorite. I think it’s this one. Loved Callum. Can’t wait for the next book. )

Another fantastic read!

This book couldn’t have come at a better time. I had JUST finished reading the first in the series, and was really wanting to know how the love story between “Z” and Carter would evolve after their fly-by-night romance on Halloween day. The additional hauntings in the Redwood Manor made for an interesting complication to an already unconventional pairing, and the visions and pressure that Carter had to return to the manor throughout the book kept me guessing about what would happen until the...
