The Hallowed House

A winning lottery ticket. An attempted kidnapping. Juniper Thatcher has learned the hard way that luck always came with a price. Determined to burn through her winnings to free herself of the danger her luck has drawn in, she purchases an abandoned house that offered her sanctuary. The auction listing didn't include the fact that the original owner still resided there, and old Mr. mcCullough isn't anything like the rumors she found online. When Juniper stumbles upon an attic that was not listed in the blueprints, she discovers the world is not as mundane as it appears. A secret World War II project. A traitorous wife. The Druid has shared his home with many hopeful tenants, but none of them could handle the ghosts of his past. After seventy-three years as a prisoner of time in the house he built, he has taken to scaring them away before they can even unpack. However, when a sobbing, rain-drenched, bloody mess of blonde hair shoves her way through his kitchen door in the middle of the night, he can't bring himself to terrify her. For the first time in decades, he knows he must help. He never expected she would bring life back to his hallowed house. Together, the Druid and Juniper discover this is more connecting them than the roof over their heads. The truth of both their betrayals seems determined to bring them to despair, and they must face the demons of their pasts if they want a future where they can finally touch.
