Round two ambassador pick.

Wyatt has just won it big and, in a drunken haze, buys an old, neglected mansion.

When she moves in to start renovations, she gets an eerie feeling that she's not always alone-and let's not forget the noises.

One fitful night, she heads to the kitchen for a midnight snack and is shocked when a random stranger runs past her in the hallway. A handsome man dressed like Mr Darcy, who disappears like a ghost.

After her encounter, Wyatt does some research into the old house, only to discover it has a creepy and troubling past.

But that's nothing compared to the revelation that the old antique wardrobe in her room is a secret doorway to the past and the handsome stranger is no ghost, but the son of an Earl looking for his long-lost aunt.
