Historian Emily Parker arrives in the quaint town of Ashford to investigate a series of mysterious 19th-century letters discovered in the attic of the reputedly haunted Rosewood Manor. These letters hint at a forbidden romance between Annabelle Whitmore and Jonathan Blackwood, lovers whose story ended in tragedy. As Emily delves deeper into the letters, she encounters chilling whispers and ghostly apparitions, hinting at the restless spirit of Annabelle seeking justice.
With the help of local historian Daniel, Emily uncovers hidden passages and long-buried secrets, revealing a tale of betrayal and heartbreak. Together, they discover that the haunting is linked to Mr. Whitmore, the mansion's stern caretaker and descendant of the one who betrayed the lovers. As they uncover the final clues, Emily and Daniel find themselves falling in love, their growing romance mirroring the tragic love story they are unraveling.
Their investigation leads them to a hidden letter and a secret meeting place in the manor's garden. There, they find evidence that helps bring peace to Annabelle's spirit, lifting the haunting presence from the manor. Through their journey, Emily and Daniel's bond strengthens, transforming Rosewood Manor from a place of sorrow to one of love and redemption. In solving the mystery, they also find their own happy ending, bringing closure to the past and hope for the future.

What if every bruise, every cut, every scar on your body wasn't yours? What if it was someone else's but everytime they hurt themselves, they hurt you too? How would you explain it to those around you? That was Thomas' problem. Annabelle was struggling with everyday life; a dysfunctional Mother who barely even noticed her, a Father who was re-married and halfway across the state, no real friends. There was no wonder she felt like her only option was self-harm. That was until she went to live with her Father in California and stumbled across the insanely handsome Thomas, who like her, was covered in scars and bruises. Yet, they were identical to her own. Feeling a spark ignite between them, things became a little more complicated as Thomas confided in her and told her that he's never once lifted a blade or a similar object to his skin - they just appear from a dream he has...about her. Not only must Annabelle fight the urge to stop harming herself so she'll stop hurting Thomas, the two of them need to figure out why they seem to be connected to each other.
