Books like Scent of Roses by Kat Martin
Elizabeth Conner, a family counselor, takes on a case that defies her skepticism when her pregnant client, Maria Santiago, tells her she is being visited by a ghost. Maria’s husband, Miguel, a migrant worker on Harcourt Farms, dismisses the visions as hormonal. Elizabeth digs deeper, learning the cottage Maria lives in is owned by a rival family of the Harcourt estate. The estate’s handsome heir, Carson, and his boisterous brother, Zack, complicate her investigation. As Elizabeth allies with Zack, they uncover a dark past and the legacy of a murder that still haunts the house.
Facing chilling revelations and a looming threat, Elizabeth must protect Maria—and herself—from the bitter spirits that linger in the cottage’s walls.
