Haunted

"It was peaceful for a short while, as the sky turned liquid and my lips turned blue. Even the burning in my lungs was better than the ache in my heart."

Bound by a lie, held by a promise. During the Reconstruction Era in New York (1877), Catherine Blackfell's world begins to unravel, forcing her into a dangerous engagement she never wanted. Surrounded by secrets, deception, and a haunting past that refuses to stay buried, she must confront not only those who seek to control her but also the darkness festering within herself. As she's pulled deeper into a web of lies and betrayal, forgiveness seems impossible, and trust even more elusive. Can Catherine survive the truth before it consumes her, or will the weight of her choices drag her into the abyss?
