Synopsis
A modern gothic romance, pitched as Practical Magic meets Mexican Gothic, in which an independent outcast moves into a haunted Victorian in Ivy Hollow and encounters a ghost stuck in 1979, and their unexpected connection ignites a love that defies the boundary between worlds.
He’s been dead for decades. She makes him feel alive.
Demi St. James bought a haunted house and left her deadbeat boyfriend. In that order.
The niece of the town witches and the sister of the town widow, she was never going to outrun the assumptions of being a little weird in the small coastal town of Ivy Hollow. Vintage record store owner Demi lives life on her own terms, so when her relationship takes a nosedive, she seizes the opportunity to move into the old Victorian mansion at the edge of town: Beaumont Manor.
It doesn’t take long before she realizes that the house came with an undisclosed roommate.
Tristan Beaumont died in 1979 and has been alone in the Manor ever since, watching the years roll by in solitude. His loneliness is his only companion until, that is, Demi St. James walks through his front door.
He’s immediately bewitched by how alive his new roommate is and feels himself pulled into her orbit as if by magic. His interest soon turns into desire, and desire into yearning. Now all he wants in the world is to be able to touch her, know her, love her.
This haunting just got romantic. A twist of fate allows Demi to finally see Tristan; however, seeing is not enough—she wants to keep him. Lucky for her, witchcraft and magic are in her blood, and she’s determined to do whatever it takes to bring Tristan back to life. Demi had always dreamed of a love that could last a lifetime, but is summoning the dead a conjuring too far?
