The Ghost of Briar Rose

Anna Romer

Everyone says the old mountainside house is haunted. Which is perfect because ghost hunter Cleary Branchwood knows it’s easy money. He’ll buy the propertydirt  cheap, flush out the poor wretch of a ghost they call Briar Rose, and resell for an unthinkable sum to investors from Melbourne. Simple, right?

But feisty Rose isn’t going anywhere till she solves the devastating crime that tethers her to the garden. A crime everyone says she committed. Only when she remembers will she be free to cross over and be with her true love William.
As Cleary and Rose join forces to solve the mystery and set her free, Rose glimpses the happiness she was denied in life. Could Cleary and his young daughter be the family she’s always yearned for? But as buried memories surface, Rose fears the
monster lying dormant inside her will destroy the two people she’s come to love the most.

A heart-wrenching enemies to lovers mystery from bestseller Anna Romer.
