Peter James: Sweet Heart (UK 2018)

From the Publisher:
Charley has a strange feeling when she sees the idyllic mill house with its cluster of outbuildings, the lake and the swirling mill stream; a powerful sense of recognition, as if she has been there before. Except she knows she hasn't.

After Charley and her husband Tom move into Elmwood Mill, sinister memories of a previous existence start to haunt her. Despite both their attempts to dismiss everything with rational explanations, the feeling turns to certainty as the memories become increasingly vivid and terrifying.

Charley is persuaded to undergo hypnosis - but in searching deep into her past, she will soon fear her future.

Peter James: Sweet Heart (USA 1991)

From the Publisher:
Charley and her husband Tom have a problem: They want to have a baby but she can't conceive. She tries everything from acupuncture to hypnosis, and even something called rebirthing therapy, but nothing seems to help. Finally, she quits her job in London so they can move to the country and try to rekindle the original spark of their marriage.

In Elmwood Mill they find an ideal atmosphere for relaxation: A secluded fifteenth-century mill house, complete with its original water mill and brick barn. But Charley senses that there's something wrong with this seemingly idyllic setting, something churning beneath the surface.

Sinister memories of a previous existence begin to haunt her, and when her hypnosis sessions end in terror instead of peace, it becomes apparent that there is something hidden, buried in her past, that no one is able to reach.

As Charley learns more about the history of the house and its past occupants, she realizes that she hardly knows anything about her own past - and her adoptive mother can shed little light on it. What there is to know about the connection between Charley and the woman who died in the house in a mysterious fire, Charley must discover for herself, before the evil she has uncovered destroys her.

Peter James: Sweet Heart (UK 1991)

From the Publisher:
The Estate Agents described Elmwood Mill in Sussex as 'a delightful 15th century mill house in outstanding secluded position'. That they said nothing about its disturbing atmosphere was hardly surprising - especially as Charley was the only one who felt it. Her husband Tom said she was imagining things. Charley, after they moved in, knew otherwise. She was remembering things. Yet she had never been to Elmwood before in her life.

But had she known it in a previous life? As the haunting begins to invade her everyday life, Charley resorts to hypnosis - but each session ends with a feeling of doom and terror. There is something hidden that the hypnotist cannot reach. Something that was safely buried in her past -until now...
