Midnight Bayou Roberts, Nora

Declan Fitzgerald walks away from his Boston law career and buys a crumbling Louisiana mansion sight unseen — because something about Manet Hall won't let him go. The house is a wreck. The locals think he's crazy. But the dreams start immediately: vivid, violent flashes of a young woman's life in the 1890s, and her death in the house he now owns. As Declan renovates room by room, the past bleeds into the present. Enter Lena Simone, a bar owner with her own ties to Manet Hall's dark history. The chemistry is instant, but so is the danger. Roberts weaves Southern Gothic atmosphere with romance and a genuinely unsettling mystery — Spanish moss, jazz, ghosts, and a love story that reaches across a century. For fans of atmospheric romance with a supernatural edge, or anyone who's ever felt haunted by a place they've never been.
