A delightful adventure was all Lady Charlotte Beck craved, but it was never to be. Not with two older brothers being the most diligent of chaperones. However, when her family is summoned to Castle Keyvnor for the reading of a will, Charlotte can hardly contain her excitement. Not that she believes ghosts, magic or any of that nonsense.

Lord Adam Vail has spent the last two years at his grandfather's estate taking care of his older brother until he succumbs to a debilitating illness. The only thing that has made being at Hollybrook Park bearable is that he is close to his mother's Romani family. He knows magic, ghosts and evil are very real and when Lady Charlotte dismisses his grandmother's concerns, Adam finds himself protecting her from a very real and murderous ghost.

Only one thing can safe her from a deadly fate.
