Lake of Fire - Paperback

by Katie McVay (Author)

A haunted Victorian mansion. An alluring evil doppelganger. A dangerous love triangle. A dark destiny that won't be denied...

When Lilian's husband dies unexpectedly, just making it through each day becomes a Herculean feat of endurance. Then, she's offered a dream job restoring a neglected Victorian mansion, and something stirs awake inside her. The Becker Estate has a tragic history and cries out for a new life, a second chance--much like Lilian herself.

Enlisting the help of her late husband's best friend, Sam, Lilian tackles the gigantic job. But when disturbing, inexplicable events start occuring, she wonders if she chose the house, or if the house chose her. Locals and her own workers whisper of a family curse as the cause of the paranormal activity, but to Lilian, it feels more personal. She struggles through each day and each mounting issue--not to mention her complicated feelings for Sam and growing attraction to Eric, the client who bears a striking resemblance to her deceased husband--knowing her dream project could set her up for life, if it doesn't unravel into a nightmare. To escape with her life, Lilian must confront the ghosts that reside within the house--as well as those of her own shameful past.

Losing her husband seemed like the worst thing she could survive, but Lilian will discover there are fates far worse than death.
