Hidden Gabriel

A blizzard. A stranger's fortress. And a ghost who wants them dead.

Erica Mira drives into a Maine whiteout to chase down the sister who vanished years ago. One black-ice spin later, her car is totaled, her phone is dead, and the only light for miles is a Gilded-Age chateau locked behind a mountain of secrets.

Gabriel Murphy is a former Marine who walked away from his family's hotel empire the day his wife faked her own death and framed him for murder. He's spent two years alone in a house he can't sell and a silence he can't break — until the woman bleeding on his library floor mistakes him for an angel.

They're snowed in for the duration. So is Tiffany.

She never died. She's been living in the chateau's WWII bomb shelter, listening through the walls, slipping poison into their wine, and waiting for the storm that will finally let her finish what she started.

Forced proximity. Snowed in. Grumpy Marine meets sunshine baker. Gaslit gothic suspense with a killer hiding inside the walls.
