Lockmorrow Estate was situated at the northernmost tip of England in a stormy, desolate region where nothing but rangy sheep would grow. The manor itself, said to be under a curse of unknown origin, was made of the same dark, gray limestone that jutted up from the surrounding fields like tombstones. No one else would willingly take a job there, no one else would dare, but Rosalie did not have the virtue of choice. She was desperate.

The moment Rosalie steps inside the house, she knows the rumors are correct. There is something very wrong with Lockmorrow Estate. Something is lurking in the shadows. And whatever it is, it wants her.

  Review: Plot holes a plenty but still a sweet story and smexy as hell.  

I feel like this was really good up until the author tried to make sense of things. I felt like that part was a bit of an afterthought. Like how do I explain why she was the one… random contrived plot point no one saw coming. It couldn’t have been horny ghost looking for just the right governess to get his rocks off with. No, it has to be this exact chick and then somehow, he had to know that she would be looking for a governess job and etc. It was just too much. I loved the ghost story angle and the hot ghostly action but that tiny plot point just made me cringe. I mean I didn’t need the love story just a horny ghost in need of lovin’ and the governess who is willing. That would have made a lot more sense. Especially with the shortness of the book.
