Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

An out-of-work tailor. A century-old ghost. A secret written in red thread.Alexander D. Vaughan is three weeks away from closing his small shop on Barrington Street when a mysterious, elegant woman walks in with an offer he can't afford to refuse.Maeve Tempest needs a tailor to finish the final, uncompleted collection of her late husband-the legendary couture designer Lucian Tempest. But when Alexander moves into the grand, decaying Tempest house in South End Halifax, he quickly realizes he isn't alone in the third-floor atelier.It begins with subtle anomalies: dress forms turning toward the dark corner of the room, cold spots that turn breath to frost, and flawless red-stitched seams appearing overnight on unfinished gowns. At the heart of the mystery sits an iron-strapped sea chest-and inside, a forgotten suit of black wool holding a soul that has been waiting since December 1917.Elias Tempest was a twenty-six-year-old tailor who died in the devastation of the Halifax Explosion before he could reach his bride. Now, a century later, his restless ghost seeks a body to fulfill his final promise: I will be there.As Alexander and Maeve race against time to unravel the secrets of the past, a simmering romance kindles between them. But Maeve is guarding a heartbreaking secret of her own-one that could cost Alexander his life, his art, and his future.Why Readers Love The Midnight Silk: - Atmospheric Gothic Romance: Rich with maritime fog, salt air, coastal Halifax history, and hauntingly beautiful atelier craftsmanship.- Captivating Tropes: Forced proximity, slow-burn romance, haunted artifacts, historical mysteries, and tragic ghost lore.- Unforgettable Characters: A quiet tailor with a generous heart, a resilient widow carrying a heavy secret, a gentle ghost holding onto a century-old vow, and a witty supporting cast of local Haligonians.Perfect for fans of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, The Night Circus, and The Ten Thousand Doors of January.
