The Bones We Haunt

In November of 1905, Jane Sterling, a young American socialite and familial black sheep, seeks a chance to indulge in her love for paleontology between attending archeological lectures at the University of Cambridge in her father’s stead. After a chance reunion with Terence Hayes, a reclusive gentleman, offers her the once in a lifetime opportunity to appraise fossils found on his property, she can hardly resist, and lets him whisk her away to his ancestral home of the Drowning House.

Isolated in the middle of the vast Wolf’s Run marshes that are marred by unfriendly locals and legends of beasts stalking the reeds under the cover of night, Jane finds she is all too happy to leave when her work is finished. But when violent storms cause waters in the marsh to rise, washing out the roads, she becomes trapped on the grounds and is forced to face something hungry that comes to scratch at her door — something not quite… human.

Imprisoned in the house by the marshes and a potential beast stalking within the reeds, Jane is pulled into a game of survival as she deciphers demonic secrets plaguing a family’s bloodline and battles her growing attraction towards a man caging dark secrets beneath his skin.

A gothic werewolf historical romance that is a blend of THE WOLFMAN, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, and THE DEATH OF JANE LAWRENCE.
