The Countess’s Phantom Lover: An Atmospheric Gothic Mystery of Truth and Desire
Eva Lyndale
She hired him to watch her sleep. It was the most dangerous thing she ever did.
Emilia Lynden is trapped. Widowed, isolated, and plagued by terrifying nighttime intrusions, she’s being gaslit by her own family. They say she’s mad. They want to lock her away and take her fortune. She knows she’s sane—she just needs a witness.
Enter Dr. James Pembroke. Disgraced, cynical, and done with high society, he agrees to a bizarre proposition: stay in the Countess’s bedroom and prove she’s hallucinating.
But when the lights go out, James sees the truth. Someone is hunting Emilia. Trapped in a snowbound manor with a hidden enemy, the professional distance between doctor and patient shatters. He becomes her shield, her partner, and her lover. But to save her, he’ll have to break every oath he’s ever taken.
Featuring: Bodyguard romance vibes, hurt/comfort, and a hero who would burn the world down for her.
