Release Date: October 17, 2023
A haunted hotel. A skeptical photographer. A deadly curse that could cost her everything.
Wren Mabry’s life is a disaster. Her last few years have been rife with tragedy and hardship. So when she’s offered a job at Moonseed Manor, a Gothic revival mansion that’s never welcomed visitors, it seems suspicious. Even so, this is her chance to finally turn her life around.
The gloom that hangs over Moonseed Manor is enhanced by its cold yet alluring owner, Mr. William Courtland Bennings. And the spooky tales of the flirtatious and sexy caretaker, Watt, play up that feeling.
Even though Wren doesn’t believe in ghosts or curses, she’s always had a flair for the darker side. And when she finds a handwritten book of poetry filled with longing, terror, and ghostly revenge, it reawakens her very soul—or rather the unknown poet does.
Love, death, secrets, and lies await in this gothic romance.

Wow,
I loved this book. The Curse of Moonseed Manor by D. Lieber.
This book has it all; moody, distant, cursed male lead. The lovely but poor female lead who wants to save him and of course the Villian!
Moonseed Manor is cursed because the owner of a mine allowed mining to go on and 128 miners were killed. A wycche(witch) places a curse on the manor, that a child born with dark hair and pale skin would bring the curse down upon the Manor. This entails losing all their money and eventually torment and death of the cursed child.
You are treated to a delightfully well-written story with characters who are believable and some fantastic poetry that chills you to the bone! D. Lieber brings to life the people of her books and ads intrigue and revenge for past misdeeds on the family of Moonseed Manor.
William Courtland Bennings is the last surviving member of the family that is cursed. Katherine Mabry is "Wren" his new photographer for MoonSeed Manor which is now a not-for-profit bed and breakfast.
This story carries you on a ride through life as a cursed person with ghosts tormenting him and the woman who loves him. Of course, the devious Watt, who has ulterior motives is there to throw a monkey wrench in the works.
If you love a good mystery and happily ever afters this is the book for you! I highly recommend this book.

D. Lieber has a wanderlust that would make a butterfly envious. When she isn’t planning her next physical adventure, she’s recklessly jumping from one fictional world to another. Her love of reading led her to earn a Bachelor’s in English from Wright State University.
Beyond her skeptic and slightly pessimistic mind, Lieber wants to believe. She has been many places—from Canada to England, France to Italy, Germany to Russia—believing that a better world comes from putting a face on “other.” She is a romantic idealist at heart, always fighting to keep her feet on the ground and her head in the clouds.
Lieber lives in Wisconsin with her husband (John) and cats (Yin and Nox).
