One would die for her. The other already has . . .

Seventeen-year-old Stephanie Armand doesn’t believe in ghosts or spirits. Despite the rumors at school and her little sister insisting a masked figure is hiding in her closet, Stephanie isn’t convinced her father’s latest renovation project—a crumbling Victorian mansion called Moldavia—houses the soul of a monster. But when the very charming (and paranormal-obsessed) Lucas Cheney takes an interest, in both Stephanie and her notorious home, the supernatural and romantic activity escalates to an all-time high. And then there’s Erik—the mysterious, dashing boy with the British accent who’s taken up residence in Stephanie’s nightly dreams. A boy who may have something to do with the man in the mask, and the strange occurrences taking place within the walls of Moldavia.
