A dark presence that can't be ignored...

Bloodstone Manor is the most infamous haunted house in England, a place where ancient legends and old mysteries linger amid cold walls. Gavin St. John makes his life's work ferreting out the secrets of the restless dead. Summoned to Yorkshire, the last thing he expects to find is the woman of his dreams.

Carlotta Stone is frightened by the inexplicable happenings in her home, but powerless to stop them. When the handsome Mr. St. John arrives, she is immediately drawn into an old drama where two lovers seek to reunite by the use of the notorious ghost hunter—and herself—at least their bodies. The lingering passion she experiences in his arms is just exactly what has been missing from her life.

But danger lurks in the form of a malevolent evil that has not forgotten a betrayal that spans time and human suffering...
