Delilah and Gavin's new love is threatened by a force uncomfortably close to home in this haunting novel from New York Timesbestselling duo Christina Lauren, authors of Beautiful Bastard. His shirt is black, jeans are black, and shaggy black hair falls into his eyes. And when Gavin looks up at Delilah, the dark eyes shadowed with bluish circles seem to flicker to life. He lives in that house, the one at the edge of town. Spooky and maybe haunted. Something worse than haunted. And Gavin is trapped by its secrets. Delilah and Gavin can't resist each other. But staying together will exact a price beyond their imagining.

Together, they reworked the famous fanfiction, The Office, into the novel Beautiful Bastard.
