The Ghosts of Greyfell Abbey: A Snowbound Gothic Historical Romance

She inherited a haunted abbey. He insists the ghosts are only weather. Neither expected to find a home in the ruins. Philippa "Pip" Fairfield has spent years making hardship look amusing. When an eccentric duchess leaves her Greyfell Abbey, the inheritance could secure her mother and sisters at last. There is only one condition: Pip must survive the Northumberland winter and revive the abbey's traditional Twelfth Night feast. Greyfell, however, is already occupied. Dr. Elias Crane is a brilliant, reclusive scholar who has filled the ancient halls with acoustic instruments designed to prove that every ghostly sob, wandering footstep, and tolling bell has a rational explanation. He has no intention of surrendering his work to a lively heiress with an inconvenient will and a talent for naming every unexplained sound. But when snow seals the road and impossible occurrences lead them into Greyfell's hidden passages, Pip and Elias must investigate together. Their shared ghost log begins to reveal more than tricks of stone and wind: someone is stripping the abbey of its treasures, a frightened child is hiding within its walls, and Elias knows far more than he has admitted. As suspicion becomes trust and intellectual rivalry deepens into desire, Pip must decide whether the man who challenged her at every turn can become the one person beside whom she no longer has to pretend. The Ghosts of Greyfell Abbey is an atmospheric Gothic historical romance featuring a snowbound abbey, forced proximity, a brooding scientist hero, a witty and capable heroine, an apparent haunting, found family, emotional healing, and a passionate happily-ever-after.
