About this book

Regina McClaine arrives at her great-aunt’s secluded Jasper Lake mansion seeking a sanctuary to heal from a professional and personal implosion. She expects nothing more than the quiet rustle of leaves and the solitude of the estate. Instead, she finds herself entangled with a restless, enigmatic spirit who refuses to be ignored. When a series of unsettling threats forces her to hire security expert Knox Sinclair, the mansion’s long-buried secrets begin to surface, blurring the line between the living and the dead.

Knox is a man defined by his own guarded past, yet he finds his resolve crumbling under the weight of Regina’s vulnerability and the undeniable sparks between them. As they peel back the layers of the McClaine estate’s dark history, their slow-burn connection deepens, turning a professional arrangement into a fight for survival. This is a story where the past is never truly gone, and every shadow holds a whisper of the truth.

Perfect for fans of atmospheric gothic romance, this second installment of the Jasper Lake series masterfully weaves supernatural intrigue with an emotional second-chance romance. If you crave stories where love is a high-stakes mystery, step into the garden and discover why some secrets are meant to be unearthed.
