When David Norton takes a research trip to an isolated Lancashire farmhouse, he expects to find folklore material for his thesis. What he doesn't expect is to find online reviews from someone with his exact name and background-someone who claims to have visited the house months before David was ever there.
High Fell House has been empty for centuries, except for the woman who died there in 1643.
Joan Fell was accused of witchcraft and sentenced to hang, but the rope broke twice. Sent home to her hearth, she bound herself to the house with magic older than memory, waiting for the man who promised to return to her.
Now David's trapped by a supernatural storm, and Joan believes he's the reincarnation of her lost love. She's been waiting three hundred years for him to keep his promise, and she's not about to let him leave again.
But Joan's love has curdled into something darker during her centuries of solitude. When David finally escapes High Fell House, he thinks he's free-until flames start whispering his name in his Manchester flat.
Some promises transcend death. Some love refuses to die. And some ghosts don't stay where you leave them.
Will David find a way to break Joan's supernatural hold on him, or is he doomed to return to the woman who's been waiting by her hearth for three centuries? And what really happened to the original David who broke his promise in 1643?
A gothic supernatural romance about obsessive love, reincarnation, and the price of broken promises.
