The Dark Side of Everly Manor

By Breanna Hicks

Some secrets should stay hidden... even from the ones you love

Everly Manor should be the perfect escape, a charming bed and breakfast run by Atticus (AJ) Walker, who pours his heart into keeping his parents' legacy alive. But behind the cozy fireplaces and carefully tended garden lingers secrets better left unsaid. Twenty-five years ago, Atticus James Walker survived the night his family was brutally slaughtered inside his childhood home. For years AJ has lived under the shadow of that night, haunted by secrets he couldn't explain.

But Everly Manor has become infamous, a haunted destination drawing in ghost hunters and tourists. For on the anniversary of the murders, the Walker spirits stalk couples who resemble the killers... before ending them in bloodshed.

When aspiring novelist, Aileen Hughes arrives at the manor retracing her parents' most romantic getaway for her final shot at a bestselling romance novel, she expects cozy inspiration and maybe a spark of small-town charm, not terror. Instead, she finds herself drawn to AJ and the manor's dark world of secrets. Together, she and AJ must unravel the mystery of who really killed the Walker family before the spirits claim another couple. But the closer they get to the truth, the more they discover that some secrets should stay hidden.

What begins as a traditional romance spirals into a supernatural murder mystery in The Dark Side of Everly Manor.
