People have been known to perish at McGregor Manor…
Opening her B and B to a group of ghost hunters, Molly McGregor hopes the spirits rumored to be there will appear. She needs the weekend to be a financial success. But when disembodied voices and hazy images nearly lure her to her death, Molly’s driven straight into the arms of a sexy but mysterious guest—Casanova Valdez.
Nova knows what it’s like to be haunted—by memories of a case gone bad. As a secret agent, he’s confident he can protect Molly but is not exactly sure he believes in ghosts. As the mysterious incidents targeting the gorgeous redhead become increasingly more dangerous, Nova must question if it’s the handiwork of a ghost…or a killer.
“I lied to you when I said I didn’t watch you much.”
Her gaze rose to his. “Really? Why?”
He smiled. “Because I’m curious. I wanted to know one thing before I left.” He tugged her closer.
“Yeah?” She stopped when they were toe to toe. “And what’s that?”
“Just how good you taste.” He started his descent, his mouth angling toward hers.
She planted a finger on his lips. “I take it you tend to live up to your name, Casanova. Do you always get your way with women?”
He hesitated only a moment, pushing his memories to the furthest corner of his mind. “Mostly.” He gave her his sexiest smile. And again he swept in for the kiss. That was all he wanted. Then he could leave and never look back. Relationships were too complicated and he wasn’t staying. “Is it working?”
Her free hand slipped behind his head and pulled him down so that their lips could meet in a wordless response.
Dear Reader,
Cape Churn is becoming such a part of my life through the three stories I’ve written in this setting and the one I’m writing now. The more I write about it, the more I would love to visit this town and experience the Devil’s Shroud for myself. Alas, the town is fictional and all the characters exist only in my imagination. But I love them all and want to go along on their adventures and be with them when they finally find their happily-ever-afters.
This book takes you back to the McGregor bed-and-breakfast and gives you a little history on the original owners of McGregor Manor, where you will learn about the heartache and unrequited love of the man who built it.
For those who don’t believe in ghosts, suspend your disbelief and immerse yourself in the story. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, the living, breathing characters have a lot to learn about love, each other and themselves. And maybe they’re getting a little help from those who came before.
Perched on the rocky Oregon coast, this quiet little vacation town will see more troubles. Molly McGregor and Casanova Valdez will struggle to find the source of the problems before someone dies. The past comes back to haunt the guests of the B and B, where we hope good will overcome evil.
Join me on a dark, stormy night when the Devil’s Shroud envelopes the land and sea. Perhaps we’ll have a ghostly encounter.…
Happy reading!
