Two women, one hundred years apart. One violent husband who refuses to let go.

Anna-Rose, 1882

When Anna-Rose leaves her privileged Virginia life to marry charming James Collins, she believes she's found paradise in frontier Texas. Their farmhouse, the rolling hills, the promise of building a life together. It's everything she dreamed of.

But the dream shatters within weeks as James's explosive temper surfaces, transforming their isolated home into a prison. His fists come without warning. His rage has no logic. And each time Anna-Rose discovers she's pregnant, his violence intensifies until another life is beaten away before it can begin.

After losing baby after baby to his brutality, Anna-Rose realizes the terrible truth: the gentle man she married never existed. To survive, she must do the unthinkable. Even if it means blood on her hands. Even if it means becoming the killer instead of the victim.

Lindsey, Present Day

Jobless and blindsided by divorce in a single devastating day, Lindsey makes an impulsive decision: buy an abandoned farmhouse in Wisteria, Texas, and start over. The property is perfect for her dream bed-and-breakfast, except for the violently possessive ghost who haunts every room.

When Lindsey discovers journals and photographs in the attic, the truth becomes terrifyingly clear: she and Anna-Rose could be twins, separated by a century. The resemblance explains why the spirit keeps calling her by his dead wife's name. Why he watches her. Why he grows more violent with each passing day.

As the ghost's attacks escalate from psychological terror to physical harm, Lindsey's business, and her life, hang in the balance. To break free, she must uncover what really happened between Anna-Rose and James Collins that fateful night in 1883.

Because some spirits don't just haunt.

They possess.
