Paranormal Thriller
A modern gothic novel of love, secrets, and murder—set
against the lush backdrop of Provence Meeting Dom was the most incredible thing that had ever
happened to me. When Eve falls for the secretive, charming
Dom in Switzerland, their whirlwind relationship leads them
to Les GenÉvriers, an abandoned house set among the fragrant
lavender fields of the South of France. Each enchanting day
delivers happy discoveries: hidden chambers, secret vaults,
a beautiful wrought-iron lantern. Deeply in love and
surrounded by music, books, and the heady summer scents of
the French countryside, Eve has never felt more alive. But with autumn’s arrival the days begin to cool, and so,
too, does Dom. Though Eve knows he bears the emotional scars
of a failed marriage—one he refuses to talk about—his
silence arouses suspicion and uncertainty. The more reticent
Dom is to explain, the more Eve becomes obsessed with
finding answers—and with unraveling the mystery of his
absent, beautiful ex-wife, Rachel. Like its owner, Les GenÉvriers is also changing. Bright,
warm rooms have turned cold and uninviting; shadows now fall
unexpectedly; and Eve senses a presence moving through the
garden. Is it a ghost from the past or a manifestation of
her current troubles with Dom? Can she trust Dom, or could
her life be in danger? Eve does not know that Les GenÉvriers has been haunted
before. BÉnÉdicte Lincel, the house’s former owner, thrived
as a young girl within the rich elements of the landscape:
the violets hidden in the woodland, the warm wind through
the almond trees. She knew the bitter taste of heartbreak
and tragedy—long-buried family secrets and evil deeds that,
once unearthed, will hold shocking and unexpected
consequences for Eve.
