Publisher Description
When Emily Sloane starts her new job at Jared Bell's prestigious auction house, she's thrilled to prove herself with a high-profile assignment: cataloging the life-sized bronze statue of a hellhound once owned by notorious gothic horror writer, Victor Barrow. But as Emily delves into the statue's history and taps into her uncanny ability to sense its past, she uncovers dark secrets linked to Barrow's untimely death.
As the auction draws near, Emily and Jared are drawn into a dangerous game involving a ruthless publisher and a ghostwriter with a grudge. Amidst the gothic gloom of Barrow's legacy and the growing attraction between them, Emily and Jared find themselves entangled in a web of danger that threatens their very safety.
Will they unravel the dark secrets of the Barrow estate in time, or will they become the latest victims trapped within their own gothic nightmare?
Hounding the Truth is the thrilling first addition to the Deadly Possessions series, where each antique hides a dangerous secret, and revealing the truth comes with its own distinct price.
