And her husband made a deal with its ghost fifteen years ago.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wharton Hotel has been closed since 1973, but it remembers every guest who stayed. Every promise made. Every debt owed.\u003cbr\u003eEllie Cross built her career uncovering the truth about unsolved mysteries, but nothing prepared her for the Wharton. Room 237 shouldn't exist. The woman in white shouldn't be real. And Dan, her steady, loving husband of seven years, shouldn't be hiding a supernatural bargain that's about to come due.\u003cbr\u003eFifteen years ago, at his lowest point, Dan made a deal he doesn't remember. Now the hotel is calling in the debt-and the price is Ellie's life. Unless she can solve the mystery of Margaret Holloway, the 1920s bride whose murder created the curse that's trapped souls for a century.\u003cbr\u003eAs Ellie races to break the cycle of death and debt, she uncovers the hotel's tragic history: lovers betrayed, promises broken, and desperate bargains that echo through decades. With Dan's guilt threatening to destroy them both and Margaret's ghost growing stronger, Ellie must make an impossible choice: flee and let the cycle continue, or stay and rewrite a century-old curse-even if it costs her everything.\u003cbr\u003eIn the end, some debts demand payment. But love might just rewrite the terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for readers who loved: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eMexican Gothic\u003c\/i\u003e by Silvia Moreno-Garcia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Sun Down Motel\u003c\/i\u003e by Simone St. James\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eRebecca\u003c\/i\u003e by Daphne du Maurier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Wharton Debt is a Gothic horror romance featuring: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A married couple fighting for their relationship and their lives \u003cbr\u003e An investigative journalist heroine with agency and intelligence\u003cbr\u003e A haunted hotel with a century of secrets.
