Ghost

By Jenna K. Lawson

Lily Carlsson, orphaned and alone, moves to the city to accept a position as a French and Russian literature professor. It's Christmastime, a season for loved ones... except she has no one to spend time with. At least, until she meets her eccentric, devastatingly handsome neighbor, Ronan, who sweeps her off her feet with his unmatched artistic ability, musical genius, and unique inventions. Their budding romance seems like a dream come true, until the night he takes her to an abandoned theater where they are cornered by three men who followed them from the subway. The ringleader is Lilly's former foster brother, one who desired her in spite of everything. His friends restrain Ronan while he assaults Lily. By the time the three men are gone, Ronan is dead and severely disfigured. Lily spends the next year grieving, especially in light of the police refusing to apprehend their attackers due to their status in society. The following Christmas, Lily begins to have strange dreams of a masked figure and feels an achingly familiar presence. One night she attends a masquerade ball and is approached by a man dressed as the Red Death. There's something familiar about him. Is he real or is she being haunted by a ghost? If he is real... has he returned for love or revenge? Ghost is a dark, Gothic holiday romance that combines elements of The Phantom of the Opera and The Crow. Warning: this book contains strong sexual content, language, and strong violence that includes vague descriptions of a sexual assault.
