The Haunting of Ashford House

Ashford House has been waiting for Mara Bennett. And it remembers what her family did.When Mara inherits a decaying mansion on the edge of Georgia's Okefenokee Swamp, she expects rotting floors, buried debts, and enough family secrets to make the place difficult to sell. She doesn't expect phantom footsteps in locked rooms, the scent of biscuits and woodsmoke drifting from an empty kitchen, or a dripping woman who emerges from the swamp and vanishes before her eyes.The deeper Mara digs, the more the house fights to reveal what the Ashford family tried to erase: seven hidden names, unmarked graves, and a ledger filled with horrors that were never meant to see daylight. Someone living will do anything to keep those secrets buried. The dead have other plans.With danger closing in, Mara's only ally may be Eli Raines, the guarded caretaker whose connection to the house runs deeper than he admits. But Ashford House doesn't surrender its secrets without blood, and the truth waiting beneath its floorboards could destroy them both.Some houses are haunted by the dead. Ashford House is haunted by what the living got away with.
