About this ebook

An age-old mystery. An inconvenient spirit. An unlikely romance.

Abigail Parkinson is anxious to rid her inherited home of its troublesome specter. When she can't convince any scientist or scholar to investigate, she turns to the one man she doesn't want to ask for help: Lord Moreland.

Viscount Moreland isn't a scientist or a scholar. The blood of pirates runs in his veins. But he’s known for debunking a haunted house, and when summoned to Sibel Hall he vows to solve all of its secrets—including how to woo the intriguing Miss Parkinson.
