Description
Love was the last thing I expected when I inherited a haunted house -- but the dead don't play fair, and neither do the living.
Welcome to New Orleans, where the living and the dead walk side by side... and some hearts beat long after they've stopped.
After my divorce, I needed a clean slate. A fresh start.
So when I inherited my great-aunt Myra's crumbling Victorian mansion in the French Quarter, I packed up my life and headed south -- ready to star in my own episode of Fixer Upper.
But the moment I started peeling back the layers of the house, I uncovered more than creaky floorboards and faded wallpaper. Think hidden newspaper clippings. Unmarked graves. Footsteps in the attic. Whispers in the dark.
Do not answer the whispers. Do not open the door after midnight. Do not fall in love with the ghost.
At night, he comes to me. Drake Montague -- a devastatingly handsome 19th-century police officer with eyes like storm clouds and a voice that turns my blood to fire. In dreams, he touches me like he's real. And maybe I wish he was.
But he's not the only man complicating my life.
Ryan Kelly, my maddeningly gorgeous contractor-next-door, is all warmth, strength, and living temptation. He swings a hammer like a Greek god, and every time he smiles at me, my resolve crumbles a little more (just like the foundation of my house).
Then the nightmares begin -- ones that echo a very real evil--a dark force tied to New Orleans' most infamous serial killer, the Axeman.
Now the lines between dream and reality are unraveling, and I'm at the center of it all.
As an ancient malevolence rises, I'm caught between two men -- one made of shadow and memory, the other made of flesh and promise. One wants to protect my soul. The other might just save my life.
But in a city drenched in secrets, I'm learning that love can be eternal... and death isn't always the end.
For fans of haunted house romance, sizzling midlife paranormal love triangles, fated spirits, and second-chance heroines who refuse to back down -- even when the enemy is already dead.
Midlife Spirits is the first book in a spellbinding paranormal romance series perfect for readers of Juliet Blackwell, Deanna Chase, and Alice Hoffman.
