The Arrival: Wychwood Manor Book One

She came to catalog the estate. She stayed for him. When librarian Eliza Marchetti accepts a position cataloging the rare book collection at Wychwood Manor, she expects dust, silence, and solitude. What she doesn't expect is the figure watching from the shadows—or the way her heart races when she glimpses him in mirrors, in doorways, in the space between one breath and the next. Lord Sebastian Wychwood has been bound to his ancestral home for two centuries, a ghost trapped between worlds by a curse he can barely remember. He's watched countless caretakers come and go without a flicker of interest. But something about Eliza calls to him—her curiosity, her fearlessness, the way she speaks to him like he's still alive. As Eliza uncovers the manor's secrets, she finds herself falling for a man she can never truly touch. And Sebastian discovers that some prisons have doors that only open from the inside—if he can find the courage to walk through.
