The Vivian Awards

Thorne Manor has always been haunted...and it has always haunted Bronwyn Dale. As a young girl, Bronwyn could pass through a time slip in her great-aunt's house, where she'd visit William Thorne, a boy her own age, born two centuries earlier. Twenty years later, Bronwyn inherits Thorne Manor, and returns to find William is still there, and no longer the calm and quiet boy she remembers. He's a difficult and tempestuous man, his own life marred by a tragedy and scandal that had him retreating to self-imposed exile in his beloved moors. As their rekindled friendship sparks into something more, Bronwyn also deals with ghosts in the present version of the house, and soon she realizes they are linked to William and the secret scandal that drove him back to Thorne Manor.
