Guest in Room 13

Olivia loves her husband.That has never been the problem.She and Jack have built a good marriage, full of affection, comfort, and the quiet familiarity that comes from knowing another person almost too well. But somewhere along the way, their happiness has become predictable. When Olivia chooses the historic Blackwood Hotel for a Halloween getaway, she is hoping for old ghost stories, eerie hallways, and perhaps a little of the uncertainty she has been missing.The Blackwood gives her far more than she expected.It begins with a mysterious man in an empty hallway. Anthony is charming, observant, and impossible to ignore. He notices the things Olivia tries not to notice about herself, especially the restlessness beneath her otherwise happy life. Their conversations become increasingly personal, their attraction increasingly difficult to dismiss, and Anthony seems to belong to the strange old hotel in ways Olivia cannot explain.Then Blackwood begins revealing its secrets.Music drifts from closed rooms. Figures appear where no one should be standing. Dreams feel too real to be dreams. Pieces of the hotel's forgotten history begin surfacing around Olivia, drawing her deeper into a mystery that seems somehow connected to Anthony and to a room the Blackwood would rather forget ever existed.Jack came to the hotel as a skeptic, but even he begins to realize that something impossible is happening around them. For Olivia, the more frightening discovery may not be that the Blackwood is haunted.It may be how badly she wants to keep looking.The Guest in Room 13 is a slow burn gothic paranormal romance filled with haunted hotel atmosphere, supernatural mystery, forbidden attraction, sensual tension, and a marriage beginning to explore desires neither husband nor wife expected to confront.
