Cat & Mouse Duet: Book 0 (Prequel) by H.D. Carlton

The Prequel to the NYT Bestselling Cat & Mouse Duet

The married woman of the manor. The stranger outside. Dark temptation and dangerous desire.

THE STORY THAT STARTED THE HAUNTING

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.

Before Adeline, there was another woman in Parsons Manor.
And her story is just as haunting.
