Come for the rivalry and almost-kisses, stay for the real-life ghost story chasing them down the halls.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe vibe\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\"\u003eIt’s been months since horror author \u003cstrong\u003ePenelope Skinner\u003c\/strong\u003e threw a book at \u003cstrong\u003eNeil Storm\u003c\/strong\u003e (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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\"\u003eNeil 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: \u003cstrong\u003esticking together\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\"\u003eBetween 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTropes \u0026amp; tags\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnemies-to-lovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWriters \/ publishing world romance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWriters retreat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHaunted house \/ haunted castle (Scotland)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForced proximity + “we have to stick together”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRival authors \/ creative block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlmost-kiss tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpooky chills + sexy thrills (rom-com x cozy horror)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Romantasy Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49339027161347,"sku":"9781250292902","price":18000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/7843\/8915\/files\/9781250292902.jpg?v=1785262944","url":"https:\/\/romantasybookshop.com\/products\/if-i-stopped-haunting-you","provider":"Romantasy Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
