Phantom

The married woman of the manor. The stranger outside. An intoxicating novel of dark temptation and dangerous desire by the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Cat and Mouse Duet.

November 12, 1944. This house holds on to souls for a lifetime. I thought I had given it to my husband when I vowed to love him until the end of time. I lied. Nothing could have prepared me for the day my phantom appeared outside my window. He was terrifying, yet hypnotizing, and I couldn’t deny my intrigue. I never intended to fall into a whirlwind romance with my stalker. Especially because he’s so much more than that. A criminal. A mobster. The man who offers me solace from the monster in Parsons Manor. There are many that haunt these halls, yet it’s only my husband I fear.

This is a dark romance with triggering situations such as stalking, cheating (not between love interests), graphic violence and murder, graphic language, on-page rape and domestic violence (not between love interests), alcohol addiction and codependency with an addict, mentions of infertility and traumatic labor, and explicit sexual situations.

There are also kinks such as degradation, breath play, and fear play.

Please heed these warnings seriously.

Your mental health matters.

Author’s Note

First, please keep in mind that this story takes place during the 1940s. Not only was the language slightly different then but the value of the dollar was also vastly different from what it is now.

While I tried to stay accurate to the time period, some liberties may have been taken for the sake of the story.

Second, if you are reading this after the Cat & Mouse Duet, then you are familiar with Gigi’s diary. Please note that Gigi wrote in her journal every day, so there are hundreds of entries detailing events and information that you may be unaware of.

Happy reading!
