A gay gothic romance.

Disaster visits all who see the ghost of Foxwood Court...

Pip Leighton must stave off his family's impending financial ruin and social disgrace long enough for the ink to dry on his sister's marriage certificate. Untill then, he has to endure his employer's fearsome temper, conceal his impoverished state and, under no circumstances, indulge his curiousity about the ghost haunting Foxwood Court—even if that ghost has an alarming resemblance to himself.

Lord Cross has cut himself off from the world in his isolated ancestral home. Betrayed too many times before, he knows better than to trust anyone. Especially not a secretary in dire pecuniary stairs. Especially when said secretary is dangerously good tempered and obliging.

Cross and Pip grapple with forbidden desire, as tragedy threatens to repeat itself. Will Pip succeed in laying the ghost and freeing Cross from the regrets that haunt him? Or will he join the ghost in death?

★★★

The Secretary and the Ghost is a historical paranormal novella, the first in the Read by Candlelight series of loosely connected gothic romance standalones.
