Publisher's summary

Heiress Daphne Ryan is uncertain about spending a week at the sprawling country estate of the family of her sister’s boyfriend. For starters, she doesn’t get along with her sister. Then there’s the fact his family is old, wealthy aristocracy, and Daphne’s from brash, new American money.

Mostly, it’s that everyone knows Duncroft House is haunted by the ghost of a 1920s film star who died there. Deemed an accident, for nearly a century, people are sure it was murder.

Daphne doesn’t like scary things, say...haunted houses. She likes it less when strange things start happening to her when she arrives.

But she finds she has a surprising ally.

Ian Alcott, the heir to the earldom, is rich, gorgeous, and just as concerned about the frightening things that keep befalling Daphne at his ancestral family home. As he moves to protect her, Daphne finds he’s also funny, kind, and sexy as hell.

Indeed, he just might be too good to be true.

Ok little mystery story

This story was originally on Vella as a series. I prefer to read my books in full right away so waited for it to be available on Audible. I found the story to be ok, if a bit boring at times, but it will not go onto my list of favorite Kristen Ashley books. I wish the narrator had been different as I am not that fond of Ms. Bloom, but there you go, she seems to be a favorite of this author having narrated quite a few of her books in the past. So, just ok in my view, I'll go back to rereading some of my older Ashley books and pop this one into the archive.

Loved it

Such a great story. Different and interesting I wanted to know more about the manor the family the characters at same time my only issue was so many different characters when you do audible it’s hard to keep up as there’s no pages to flip through in hopes to be reminded who’s who. Highly recommend not what I thought it would be and was very pleased.

Wonderful

Part murder mystery part romance set in the English countryside. Loved it and love when KA throws in some fantasy.

Great love story and mystery

As usual, Kristen Ashley doesn’t disappoint. The mystery was very good and kind of scared in places. Excellent story!
