She’s looking to escape her man troubles. Instead, she finds the man of her dreams. There’s only one problem – he’s dead.

Living in a haunted house and uncovering a gateway in time were not in the job description when Samantha Merrill agreed to be the property manager of Highland House. Old photos of the reclusive master of the manor captivate her, yet she’s terrified when he appears out of nowhere. How can Robert Pennington be making love to her by the parlor fireplace when he died over a century ago?

Robert Pennington is a powerful industrialist charged with caring for an ailing father, a meddling mother, and two wayward siblings. Weary of his burdens, he longs for change. Is he ready for a woman from the future? His disciplined world turns upside down when the mysterious Samantha Merrill crashes his sister’s birthday ball. He is wildly attracted to this intriguing beauty, but is it magic or mischief motivating her? When Sam vanishes before his eyes, he knows only one thing for certain. He wants her back.

My furnace is dead, which in New England, means it’s freezing. We’re getting a new one and have heaters, but in the meantime Haunting Highland House kept me warm. It was a lovely time travel romance set in New England, near where I’m from. What’s not to like?!

The main character, Samantha, was great at being thrown into uncharted territory, and I loved that she had stomach problems (like me!) and not everything was perfect. That sounds a little bad, but it’s nice to read about a character who has issues like everyone else.

I only wish that the book was longer so I could read more of it. If you’re looking for a book to cozy up to this winter, give this one a try!
