Haunted Ground

When American Lexi Maxwell buys a long-abandoned mansion in a quaint English village, she sees it as a chance to start fresh and bring her dream of running a manor-house hotel to life. But her idyllic plans are soon overshadowed by eerie occurrences—a heartbroken ghost appears each night, kneeling beside a centuries-old ruin, and villagers whisper about Lexi’s striking resemblance to a woman who died under mysterious circumstances more than two decades ago.

As Lexi digs deeper into the history of the ruin and the secrets buried within the manor, she uncovers unexpected connections to her own past—revelations that shake her to the core and threaten everything she holds dear. Caught in a tangle of lies, loss, and long-forgotten betrayals, Lexi is drawn into a chilling mystery, and her only ally is a man haunted by his own past.

HAUNTED GROUND

IRINA SHAPIRO'S STORIES ARE HEARTBREAKING AND MESMERIZING LIKE WATCHING A TERRIBLE TRAIN WRECK THEN FINDING OUT ONE PERSON SURVIVED. I KEEP THINKING I WILL NOT LISTEN TO ANOTHER BUT... HERE I AM. TASTE IN READING MATERIAL IS RELATIVE. I WOULD SAY LISTEN TO ONE STORY - SHE IS A PROLIFIC WRITER - JUDGE FOR YOURSELF!
