A Matter of Life and Death: A Crossroads of Kings Mill Novella

Welcome to Kings Mill, Maryland, a town where the veil between worlds is dangerously thin and the past refuses to stay buried. When Rick Braddock arrives to restore a decaying Victorian mansion, he expects to find architectural challenges, not a woman who haunts his thoughts as much as the house haunts the living.

Shirley Phine is the mansion’s enigmatic guardian, a woman as captivating as she is guarded. As Rick peels back the layers of the estate, he discovers that Shirley shares a psychic bond with the property that defies all logic. This gripping paranormal romance masterfully blends historical charm with the supernatural, pulling readers into a mystery where the echoes of long-dead spirits threaten to consume the living.

Rick is the quintessential alpha-hero, a man determined to protect what is his, but even his strength is tested by the spectral forces surrounding them. As the line between history and reality dissolves, the pair must fight for a love that transcends time itself. Perfect for those who crave atmospheric tension and fated soulmates, this novella proves that in Kings Mill, some connections are written in the stars—no matter the deadly cost.
