What Lingers After

A Wholesome Contemporary Gothic Paranormal Ghost Romance

When Violet agrees to house-sit a forgotten chateau in the French countryside, she’s hoping to disappear: from her past, her mistakes, and the pain of heartbreak.

Instead, she's pulled into the tragic mystery of Elias Lavelle, a hauntingly handsome World War II officer who died with a broken heart. As Violet unravels the tragic story behind the man, love blossoms between the living and the dead.

But as she uncovers fragments of Elias’s past, she realizes he’s hiding a secret so devastating and unforgivable, it could shatter the fragile bond between them and doom his soul forever.

What Lingers After is a sweet and wholesome, yet haunting, blend of romance and revelation, a story about second chances, buried secrets, and the impossible choice between saving a soul… or saving yourself.
