Rachel never faced her own ghosts, and instead she chose to become one. I must not make that same mistake.

It’s 1874 on the coast of southern Maine when seventeen-year-old aspiring writer Agnes Alder arrives at Ravenfield Hall, an old manor house situated along a jagged patch of Maine coastline. She’s been invited by the young Matthias Delacourt to be a companion to his ailing sister, and she couldn’t say no to the promise of employment while her family is in dire financial straits. That the man of the house is brooding and handsome doesn’t hurt either. The large manor is unnervingly empty, and the portrait of Matthias’s beautiful former fiancé, Rachel Winslow, captivates and intimidates Agnes. Mrs. Peabody, the formidable housekeeper, spins tales of Rachel’s perfection, and Agnes feels the looming ghost of the deceased girl follow her every move.

Soon Agnes learns about the haunted inn on a nearby island. Is it just her imagination, or can she hear the groans of ghostly sailors lost at sea in shipwrecks that plagued these islands? And the more time she spends with Matthias, the more sparks fly. But will the ghosts that haunt these islands, the secrets kept by the Winslow family, and the shadow of Rachel come between them, or can their love overcome it all?

USA Today bestselling author Leanna Renee Hieber's Ravenfield Hall is a lush gothic romance inspired by the classics Rebecca and Jamaica Inn with a dash of the Brontë sisters that’s perfect for fans of Adalyn Grace and Keri Lake.
