What We Left in the House (Gothic Horror) 
Adult | All rights available
Ella Ward is haunted by her secrets—secrets like why she quit the ghost hunting show she hosted with her controlling sister Rachel, or what really happened the night their friend died almost twenty years ago. So when Ella and Rachel jointly inherit their late uncle’s home, Ella is desperate to uncover its ghosts so she can build a life away from her sister. But Rachel will do anything to keep Ella close—and protect secrets of her own. If Ella can’t unearth what was left in the house, she’s in danger of repeating her family’s tragic, vicious past.

Now that she’s homeschooled, Phoebe knows the kids who bullied her out of sophomore year will never see justice.

Phoebe’s cantankerous, elderly tutor agrees to help her investigate, but what started as a history lesson turns lethal when they unearth their quiet suburb’s Cold War secrets.
