A house that eats people, the immortal captain who built it, and a love that refuses to die.
When Case Pharmaceuticals investigator Caroline Oliver arrives at a decaying mansion on the Maine coast just as a hurricane closes in, she expects corporate secrets tied to rumors of eternal life. Instead, she finds a house that is alive... and a man who should not exist. She came to steal his secrets. He stole her heart. Edward Kelly is a billionaire of impossible age and rumored to be the long-dead Prohibition-era smuggler, Captain John Stewart. Haunted by a century-old curse, Stewart has spent decades hiding from a past that refuses to stay buried. A hundred years earlier, along the same storm-lashed coast, a private nurse named Ruth Wilson stepped into a world of passion, smugglers, and secrets, and fell in love with a man the sea refused to drown. Now the house they built together remembers everything. As Caroline learns the truth of that past, she awakens something vengeful within the house's walls: something bound to betrayal, desire, and the cost of immortality. With a ruthless pharmaceutical company closing in, she and Edward must confront the past, the house, and a force born in dangerous waters. Because some storms do not end with the water. Some follow a man ashore and wait for him in the dark. And some loves refuse to die. The Cliff House Trilogy is a gothic romance with strong horror and fantasy elements that blends dual timelines, supernatural mystery, and an enduring love spanning more than a century. This omnibus edition includes all three novels, presenting the complete story of a haunted house, a generational curse, and a love that may be the only force powerful enough to break it. Perfect for readers of: RebeccaThe Haunting of Hill House
