Phantom

Phantom is H. D. Carlton's prequel to the Cat and Mouse duet, set at Parsons Manor in November 1944, generations before Haunting Adeline.

Genevieve Parsons once promised her husband love until the end of time, and did not mean it. When a frightening, magnetic stranger starts appearing outside her window, she is pulled into a dangerous romance with him. He is a criminal and a mobster, and he offers her an escape from the danger inside the manor, where she fears her husband more than any of its ghosts.

A dark, obsessive historical romance about the woman whose story haunts the house in the Cat and Mouse books.
