Secrets & Souls - prequel to The Soul Guide

Mellissa watched the paper turn to ash knowing that this was one more secret her soul would take to the grave. She was the master of secrets, secrets and souls. Even the ones she couldn't remember. The last thing Bertram expected after his grandfather’s death was to replace himself the owner of Clayhill Manor, a decrepit mansion with little going for it other than musty rooms filled with moth-eaten furniture and mice. But at least he gets to maintain the solitary life he’s used to. That is, until red-headed beauty, Mellissa, walks into his home and changes his life forever. With one touch of her hand, Bertram replaces himself part of world he never knew existed. Where he is the Caretaker, and Mellissa the Soul Guide. Where doors appear out of nowhere and he’s the only one who can see them. Together they must face a strange new world hidden just beneath the surface. A world which contains the pure of soul and malevolent creatures that lurk in the dark. But Mellissa holds secrets within her, secrets that hurt her heart. With a past that she’s unwilling to share with a man who is falling in love with her, can they put their feelings aside and fulfil their roles or will her secrets tear them apart? Apart they are weak, together they are stronger, and the Mephisto are always watching.
