Haunting Desires by Victor Scott

The night Mara arrives, the house on Briarwick Hill is already listening - planks creak in anticipation, and the air tastes faintly of smoke and old prayers. In the narrow corridors of that stubborn place, desire doesn't stay buried; it tugs at the edges of every breath, turning longing into something sharper than hope.

Somewhere between a door that should never yield and a vow that refuses to die, a question takes hold: what does love owe the dead when the dead demand payment? In Haunting Desires, Mara and Ronan follow clues that glow like warnings, bargains that feel like kisses, and truths that won't stay hidden - until the house decides it's time for them to choose a future, or be claimed by the past.
