In the sun-dappled Cotswolds, a Georgian manor guards a secret under an old oak. Reserved heir Arthur Sterling returns to the estate and hears three nightly knocks on his window. With botanist Eve Harper’s help, he discovers the oak holds human remains and two intertwined bloodlines. Carved on its bark is Arthur’s handwriting.
The tree is Eleanor, who trapped her soul inside it in 1920 to stay with her lover Thomas. Thomas gave his blood to anchor her and tended the tree for decades. Arthur is Thomas, reborn. Now Eleanor knocks again. Recalling his past life, Arthur must choose: welcome her, sacrificing his blood and true self. *The Oak That Waited* is a supernatural romance about love beyond death and brave new beginnings.
