Imagine peering out your window on a foggy November night in 1944, only to lock eyes with a figure so mesmerizing and menacing, you can't look away. That's the pulse-pounding start to Phantom, the eagerly awaited prequel to the New York Times bestselling Cat & Mouse Duet. Set in the eerie Parsons Manor—a house whispered to trap souls forever—this story plunges you into a world where fear and desire collide.
Our heroine thought she'd surrendered everything to her husband with those timeless vows, but lies unravel fast in these haunted halls. The manor isn't just old stone and creaking floors; it's alive with ghosts of the past, and her husband embodies the worst of them—a true monster lurking in the shadows. Every corner echoes with dread, making you feel the chill as vividly as if you were there, heart racing, wondering what's real and what's spectral.
Enter the phantom: terrifying at first glance, but with eyes that hypnotize and a presence that promises escape. He's no mere ghost—he's a criminal, a mobster from the underbelly of wartime society, offering solace where none exists. What begins as intrigue spirals into a whirlwind romance, raw and reckless. You'll savor the tension in stolen glances, the heat of forbidden touches, and the danger that makes every moment electric. It's stalker romance done right—intense, unapologetic, and utterly addictive.
Picture curling up on a stormy evening, tea steaming beside you, as you devour chapters that blur the line between love and obsession. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the Cat & Mouse series craving backstory or new to these dark tales, Phantom scratches that itch for stories where passion defies the darkness. By the end, you'll question what you'd risk for a love that feels otherworldly. Grab your copy of this paperback releasing January 14, 2025, and let the phantom claim you too.
