Grace isn't afraid of anything. At least, that's what she tells herself when she buys a broken-down period piece of a house in rural New York with the intention of opening the perfect romantic bed-and-breakfast retreat for couples with money to burn. She can stand the financial risk, and with a little paint and polish, Hilltop House will be something beautiful once more.
But the shadowy, secluded place feels dark and eerie all of the time, even when it's bright and sunny outside. No amount of restoration removes the oppressive pall. Grace feels like someone is always watching her, especially at night. And there's something odd about the nearest town of Pine Ridge-something that makes her want to stay at home in her creepy old house, even as she begins to suspect something isn't quite right there, either.
Nyx hates being stuck in this dimension. Even more, he hates being stuck in this house-especially because of The Stranger who visits every year, always with a bag to bury in the woods. Nyx knows most people would think he's evil, but The Stranger is the one who kills.
When Grace arrives, she's a ray of light in a dark world. Nyx knows she's scared of him-even though they haven't met. But when The Stranger makes his annual pilgrimage to Hilltop House, Grace will have to choose. Will she trust the monster under her bed-or take her chances with the deadly stranger at her door?
