Divorced, broke, and emotionally fried, she heads to a fog-soaked town to claim her inheritance: a crumbling Victorian mansion on a cliff.

Especially this new woman stomping through his house. But if she solves the mystery of his death, he might finally be free. Together, they'll unravel a century-old murder, outwit nosy locals, and maybe-just maybe-fall into a love that defies death. If the house doesn't kill them first.

Maybe it's the loneliness in his voice. Or the way he lingers in the shadows, waiting for me to see him. All I know is... I don't think I want to run anymore.
