Haunted Ground Irina Shapiro

When American Lexi Maxwell buys a derelict mansion in a quaint English village and sets about turning it into a manor-house hotel, it's a dream come true. But, events take a turn for the bizarre, as a heartbroken ghost makes a nightly appearance and kneels beneath a tree next to a centuries-old ruin, and people in the village keep commenting on Lexi's resemblance to a woman who's been dead for a quarter of a century. As Lexi tries to find out more about the man in the ruin, she unexpectedly stumbles upon secrets from her own past - secrets that threaten to destroy everything she's come to believe and hold dear. As Lexi struggles to put the pieces of the puzzle together she's drawn deeper into the mystery, and can only rely on the man she's come to have deep feelings for - a man who's battling his own demons.
