If I Stopped Haunting You
"If you're in the mood for a steamy enemies-to-lovers romance but also a chilling haunted-house horror, GET YOU A BOOK THAT CAN DO BOTH! I blazed through this book in one sitting because I just couldn't wait to find out what would happen next!" - Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of With Love, from Cold World
An enemies to lovers romance where two feuding writers end up on a writers retreat together at a haunted castle in Scotland...
It's been months since horror author Penelope Skinner threw a book at Neil Storm. But he was so infuriating, with his sparkling green eyes and his bestselling horror novels that claimed to break Native stereotypes. And now she's a publishing pariah and hasn't been able to write a word since. So when her friend invites her on a too-good-to-be-true writers retreat in a supposedly haunted Scottish castle, she seizes the opportunity. Of course, some things really are too good to be true.

Readers will stay up late, with all the lights on, to finish Wilkens's satisfying debut." - Library Journal (starred review) "The horror-tinged romance moves at breakneck speed, careening between moments of laugh-out-loud humor and chilling encounters." - Publishers Weekly "Scorchingly hot."- Booklist "I devoured this debut by Colby Wilkens! The author writes with such authority and conviction that I really felt like she had lived in a haunted castle in Scotland, just like the characters. Every sentence felt like it was coming from a place of authenticity, which I loved. In addition, the spooky elements are genuinely spooky, the enemies to lovers genuinely enemies, and it all came together beautifully. I didn't realize I needed a romance book married to cozy horror but now I'm wondering where this particular mashup has been all my life. Can't wait to read the next!" - Jessica Clare, New York Times bestselling author ""If I Stopped Haunting You skillfully balances creepiness, difficult conversations, and a lot of steam to deliver readers a satisfying debut and a well-earned Happily Ever After." - Helena Greer, author of Season of Love and For Never and Always "If I Stopped Haunting You is a complex deep dive into identity, history, and staying true to one's self that pulls no punches. With a toe curling romance and bone chilling ghosts lurking around every corner, this effortless blend of romance and horror is not to be missed." - Sonia Hartl, author of Heartbreak For Hire and Rent to Be "Wilkens' debut is the perfect mix of enemy to lovers, haunted castle, and steamy spice. Pen and Neil's slow burn is smouldering with the spooky atmosphere." - Roselle Lim, author of Natalie Tan's Book of Luck Fortune and Sophie Go's Lonely Hearts Club"If you're in the mood for a steamy enemies-to-lovers romance but also a chilling haunted-house horror, GET YOU A BOOK THAT CAN DO BOTH! Colby Wilkens' debut If I Stopped Haunting You is so inventive and immersive -- I couldn't tell if my shoulders were up by my ears because of the creeping dread of whatever was going on in that castle or because of the electric chemistry between Pen and Neil. I blazed through this book in one sitting because I just couldn't wait to find out what would happen next!" - Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of With Love, from Cold World
