Daniel Walker’s life has officially imploded. Dumped by his long-term boyfriend and laid off from his job in the same week, he feels like he has nothing left to lose. So, when he receives a letter stating he has inherited a countryside hotel from his estranged father, he seizes the opportunity for a fresh start. However, Hotel Pharus is far from the idyllic getaway he imagined. The once-grand establishment is dilapidated, the guest list is empty, and the staff whispers fearful rumors about a haunted west wing that has been sealed off for years.
Determined to restore the hotel to its former glory, Daniel’s plans are complicated by the arrival of his first and only guest: Alexander Creston. Handsome, wealthy, and harboring a sharp wit, Alexander is immediately intriguing—but also deeply suspicious. As Daniel grows closer to this mysterious resident, he realizes that Alexander’s presence at the hotel is no coincidence. Beneath the flirtatious banter and undeniable chemistry lies a shared connection to the hotel's sinister history that neither can ignore.
As Daniel digs deeper into the legacy his father left behind, he discovers that the ghosts haunting the halls might not be supernatural at all. From secret dealings behind closed doors to the corrupt machinations of the elite, Hotel Pharus hides skeletons that powerful people want to keep buried. Daniel must decide if uncovering the truth is worth risking his safety—and his heart. Perfect for fans of Knives Out with a romantic twist, this series delivers a gripping narrative of love, betrayal, and atmospheric mystery.
