House of the unfinished business

When Ava Thorne returns to her family's abandoned estate after the sudden death of her estranged uncle, she expects dust, silence, and old ghosts. What she doesn't expect is the house to feel alive-watching, waiting. Nor does she expect the presence of a man who shouldn't exist, a figure from the past with secrets as deep as the mansion's foundations.
As she unravels the dark history of the Thorne family, Ava is drawn into a web of buried lies, unspeakable truths, and a haunting that refuses to rest. But the deeper she digs, the more the house tightens its grip, and the more she begins to wonder: is she uncovering the past, or becoming part of it?
Some houses don't forget.
And some loves don't die.
