The Ghost Illusion
A psychologist inherits a haunted Victorian home and seeks help from a grieving billionaire debunker.
Eve St. Clair faces a crisis of reality after inheriting her uncle’s Sunderland residence. The house whispers, and she cannot tell if the voices are real or products of her mind. She turns to Ransom King, whose personal tragedy has fueled his mission to expose supernatural scams. King arrives in England with a team, intending to prove Eve’s experiences are fabricated. However, he finds her genuine and senses a tangible threat. His investigation shifts from debunking to protecting, as he falls for Eve while trying to save her from the entity pursuing her. The story balances the cold logic of parapsychology research with the warm, desperate urgency of romantic devotion.
The novel is set in Sunderland, England, within a Victorian house, contrasting with the Seattle background of the protagonist Ransom King. It draws on traditions of gothic fiction and supernatural mystery, published by Kensington Publishing Corporation in 2023.
