The Phantom Bride eBook
An erotic Halloween romance of ghost obsession, forced proximity, and a possessive phantom who refuses to let go.
A mother on the run. A manor steeped in blood and whispers. A phantom who refuses to be forgotten.
Six weeks after escaping her abusive husband, Chloe is desperate to stay hidden. Every diner, every parking lot feels like another trap, every stranger another set of Eric's eyes. When a violent encounter forces her to flee again, she stumbles upon a manor glowing with impossible light — a gothic estate the locals swear is cursed, its halls haunted by the ghost of a man who murdered his family.
Nathaniel McKay has lingered in those walls for centuries, a prisoner of rumor and rage. They say he slaughtered his wife in a fit of madness, that his obsessive, possessive soul roams the ballroom in search of a new bride. Nathaniel remembers the night differently or so he claims. Memory or lie, truth or denial, even he may not know anymore.
But when Chloe crosses his threshold, the morally gray phantom recognizes her as the one thing that can tether him back to life. She wants safety, not seduction. But his obsession is relentless, and the magical bond between them twists tighter with every midnight kiss, every whispered vow she swears she doesn't want.
As Halloween night approaches, the line between salvation and damnation blurs. To escape her past, Chloe may have to surrender to a man who is no longer alive and discover that some cages are chosen, not forced.
The Phantom Bride is a standalone dark gothic Halloween romance featuring a possessive ghost hero, forced proximity, magikal dependency, gothic atmosphere, dubcon intensity, and a morally gray MMC in an erotic paranormal romance with an HEA. Read as a standalone, no prior books required.
