Elizabeth has been running from ghosts all her life. She's haunted by visions of her mother's death, by phantoms of her childhood as an orphan. After years in the foster care system, she's learned the best way to deal with problems is to outrun them. But when she takes a job restoring art in a Gothic mansion in the northern wilderness, Elizabeth wonders if the ghosts have finally caught up to her. Something is wrong in the grand, decaying mansion. Fires don't start on their own, and empty corridors can't whisper her name. And how can she run from the handsome, reclusive owner of the estate - Adam Arrington - when they live in the same house? He's brooding. Mysterious. Seductive. But why has he locked himself away in Cliffhaven's lonely halls? What dark secrets does he keep, and do they have anything to do with his opposition to Elizabeth's work? Tempted by a love too powerful to deny, Elizabeth is drawn into a magnificent yet terrifying world. Because something hides in the shadows, creeping through candlelit corridors, haunting her every move. Threatening her life. When the sinister secrets Cliffhaven keeps threaten to destroy everything Elizabeth loves, she'll have to stop running. Before it's too late.
