The married lady of the estate. The mysterious figure outside. A captivating tale of forbidden longing and perilous passion by the bestselling author of the Cat and Mouse Duet, featured in the New York Times and USA Today.

November 12, 1944. This house clings to the spirits of its past. I thought I had surrendered myself to my husband when I swore to love him for eternity. But I deceived myself. No one could have foreseen the day a shadowy figure appeared outside my window. He was both frightening and mesmerizing, and I couldn’t ignore the pull he had on me. I never planned on falling into a dangerous affair with my stalker. But he’s much more than that. A criminal. A mobster. The man who provides me with a rare comfort, far removed from the monster that lurks inside Parsons Manor. There are many who haunt these halls, but it is only my husband I truly fear.
