If I Stopped Haunting You by Colby Wilkens

A steamy, banter-forward enemies-to-lovers that also commits to the hauntings. If I Stopped Haunting You drops two feuding horror writers into a writers retreat at a supposedly haunted castle in Scotland—then gleefully reveals the “supposedly” part was a lie. Come for the rivalry and almost-kisses, stay for the real-life ghost story chasing them down the halls.

It’s been months since horror author Penelope Skinner threw a book at Neil Storm (she drew blood!). He was infuriating—sparkling green eyes, bestselling horror novels, and a reputation for “breaking stereotypes” that Pen publicly challenged. Now Pen’s a publishing pariah, her creativity is frozen, and she can’t write a word. So when a friend offers her a too-good-to-be-true writers retreat in a haunted Scottish castle, she jumps at the chance for a reset.

Neil is equally horrified to be trapped with the frustratingly adorable woman who wrecked his confidence. Pen called his work a “book without a soul,” and now he’s terrified of writing another hollow bestseller. He wants inspiration and distance—preferably miles of it. But once the retreat begins, Pen and Neil discover they’re not just in a spooky setting… they’re in an actual ghost story. And with the castle turning dangerous, they’re forced into the worst possible arrangement: sticking together.

Between the hauntings, the tension, and one truly shocking (extremely hot) almost-kiss, they start to wonder if they were ever meant to be enemies at all—assuming the ghosts give them time to figure it out.
