House of Her Dreams - E-book - ePub

Every place has a memory. And the memories that fill the Cantwell mansion are far from inviting... After escaping near death in a car accident, Sarah is left to try to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. She embarks on a whirlwind affair with handsome widower Max Cantwell. The two are brought together by mutual loss and soon she becomes the next Mrs. Cantwell. Once the wedding ceremony is over Max has a surprise in store for his new bride when he brings her to see their home for the first time, the Cantwell mansion.
Be careful what you wish for... Just like the large sparkly diamond that sits on her left hand, this home is no ordinary house, but is the house of her dreams. Situated outside the city of Spokane Washington in an isolated wooded area, the sprawling estate is surrounded by mountains and forest. An ornate garden pond and natural marsh run through the manicured grounds, interspersed with cottonwood, willows and pine trees.
Behind these beautiful walls lurks something evil... Soon after moving in, Sarah uncovers some disturbing things about her new home, and the woman who lived there before her. After a string of unexplained happenings, she is confronted by the possibility that the Cantwell mansion's first mistress has never left. Some memories should stay buried... Sarah is unsettled by the house and has a strange feeling when she's in her new home that she isn't alone.
And as time goes by that feeling only worsens, until she's sure she's being stalked by a sinister presence. The home's glamorous exterior is tainted by a violent past... A ghostly woman clad in bridal attire roams the winding halls and forgotten rooms at night. Is the phantom bride intent on causing her harm, or is she trying to warn her of a danger closer to home?She is convinced that something is not only trying to steal her sanity but is also poised and ready to steal her last breath.
It's up to Sarah to try to piece together the twisted legacy surrounding the house before it's too late. You should always trust your instincts. This is something Sarah knows, and will very soon regret not doing. Some memories refuse to die. And sometimes history has a way of repeating itself again, and again... It's not until she uncovers a chilling truth about the woman before her, that she's no longer certain whom to fear most, the vengeful spirit of an insane murderess, or Max himself.
The house of her dreams is really the house of her nightmares. And this is just the beginning...
