Temptation of a Haunted Heart

Nothing haunts like unrequited love—especially when it festers in the dark.

Scorned by polite society in 1800s Boston, Virginia Jones returns to the marriage market for one reason: security. Love is a luxury she can’t afford—until she meets Arthur Hunt, a kind and rational scientist who promises her a new beginning.

But her scandalous past isn’t finished with her. Including Ethel, Virginia’s first unholy love, who refuses to be forgotten.

As companionship with Arthur turns into love, it soon becomes brutally clear that the passion with Ethel has twisted into possession. As Arthur draws closer, the haunting truth only intensifies.

Torn between her past and her future, society and the outskirts, science and witchcraft, she faces an impossible choice. If she speaks the truth, she risks the life she's fought to rebuild. But remaining silent could destroy her sanity.

For fans of Carmilla, Mexican Gothic, and A Dowry of Blood, Temptation of a Haunted Heart is a lush, chilling descent into madness—where death is the only answer to forbidden love.

Buy now—but remember: some love stories never end.
