Out Now – Timeless Desire by Lucy Felthouse @cw1985 #erotica #romance #paranormal #ghost

Blurb:

Emily arrives at Westbury Hall with a job to do. She’s to clean and conserve all of the books in their

impressive library, preserving them for future generations. Not long into her stay at the house,

she bumps into the night guard, George. She’d expected an old, balding guy with a comb over, so

the hunky chap she actually meets is a very pleasant surprise. The introductions complete, George

leaves Emily in peace to get on with her job. But when a falling photograph sets off a chain reaction

of ghostly events, Emily and George are thrown together in order to find out who—or what—is

causing them. Their investigation uncovers a tragic past, a lost love, and a stunning secret.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a revised and extended of a previously published title, Love Through Time.

Excerpt:

Emily received some strange looks and frowns from the people she passed as she walked across the

graveled drive towards the front entrance of Westbury Hall. She could appreciate their confusion. It

was closing time for the stately home and the last of the visitors were being politely ushered out of

the building, yet she was heading inside. What’s more, she’d been invited. She had a job to do.

An elderly lady stood in the porch smiling and nodding as she held the door open for those departing

the property. Most of them seemed in no hurry to leave, stopping to make comments to the

woman, thanking her for a lovely visit and so on. Emily waited patiently, allowing the patrons to

leave before attempting to get in. When the staff member—most likely a volunteer, Emily thought—

caught sight of her, she gave her a polite nod of acknowledgment.

Finally, the last of Westbury Hall’s visitors moved out, leaving Emily free to enter. Climbing the single

stone step to the threshold of the front porch, she took the hand that had already been offered to

her.

Shaking Emily’s hand with a surprising firmness, the woman said, “You must be Miss Stone.” Her

smart appearance and the intelligence in her eyes indicated that despite her advancing age, she was

far from past it, “I’m Mrs. Thompson, house supervisor.”

“I am,” replied Emily, dropping her hand back to her side, “but please, call me Emily. It’s lovely to

meet you. So, house supervisor? Do you live on site?” Not a volunteer, then, but a paid member of

staff.

Indicating Emily should step inside the entrance hall, Mrs. Thompson proceeded to close and lock

the porch and front doors of the house, securing them in.

“I do,” the older woman said, turning back to face Emily, “I have rooms in a separate building just off

the back of this one. So you needn’t worry about me disturbing you.”

“Oh no,” said Emily, worried she’d inadvertently rubbed Mrs. Thompson up the wrong way, “I

didn’t mean that. I was just curious, that’s all. You’re more than welcome to see me at work, Mrs.

Thompson, although I’m afraid you won’t see anything terribly exciting.”

Mrs. Thompson smiled now, the warmth reaching her eyes. Emily almost sagged with relief. She’d

yet to see the extent of the work she had to do, but she’d been told it was no easy task, so she could

be here for some time. The last thing she needed was to upset any of the staff.

“Oh, you’d be surprised, my dear. This is a fascinating old place. Of course, all these old houses have

history, but Westbury Hall’s is particularly rich.”

Emily smiled. The woman’s enthusiasm was infectious. “Well then,” she replied, “I can’t wait to learn

more about it. I hope you’ll feed me some historical tidbits throughout the time I’m here?”

Mrs. Thompson gave an enigmatic smile. Then, startling Emily somewhat, she turned smartly on her

heel and walked deeper into the house. “Come, my dear, I won’t hold you up any longer. I’ll show

you to the library, where you’ll soon start uncovering Westbury’s illustrious history for yourself.”
