Bleak Landscapes

Elle Hooper had once been beautiful. Beautiful enough to star on the cover of vogue, Cosmo, and, ironically, Elle. But after one screaming baby boy, and three years of emotional abuse from her footballer ex-husband, Elle has lost what brought her to fame. Now a wizened old woman in the body of a twenty-one year old model, she leaves for North Yorkshire to re-invent both a derelict old house and herself.

Daniel had been sick. Scarlet fever, his mother had called the little cold that he had. But that 'little cold' had taken its tool, resulting in him being quaratined in his house until 1798, when his body finally gave up. 218 years later, the house is re-inhabited and Daniel's spirit is freed.

But its new resident, a beautiful girl with strangely weary eyes, is the type of person that a dead boy might stay in his prison cell for a few years more for.
