Shea Tobin didn't expect to be back in Verbank so soon. The news of her ailing father drew her back home from half a world away. Back home to the memories she believed were better left forgotten, in a town that she felt was better left in her rearview. Verbank had always held its sleepy secrets, but Shea could have never guessed there were skeletons hidden in those closets. Skeletons that reached out to her from the dark, beckoning her to look deeper into the shadows. Accompanied by her best friend and her once-upon-a-time lover, she faces a ghost story come to life. — "Home Sweet Hell" is Ivy Whitaker's debut novel in the paranormal romance genre.
