Spotlighting Haunted Hearts by Jessica Raymond

I got to thinking that October is just around the corner, and that means so is Halloween. That, in turn, started me thinking about spooky stories. I love romances with a hint of the paranormal, or even a large dollop. For that reason, I thought I'd spotlight Jessica Raymond's award-nominated Haunted Hearts. (<---- Link to Jessica's site.) It's available from Moonlit Romance, the 2006 catalogue.

Haunted Hearts
by Jessica Raymond
Available from Moonlit Romance

Beth Albright returns to Buckinghamshire country-house Hoblington Grange to perform a paranormal investigation, unaware that her client is Sam Aston-Wilkes, her first love.

The house seems almost alive, and its eerie atmosphere only grows when, during a storm, Sam reveals the heartbreaking truth about why he broke up with Beth. He is determined to protect her by any means, even if he can’t protect himself, yet all she wants to do is solve his problems before the portentous investigation deadline that could cost Sam everything runs out.

Her doubts about whether she can fix the shattered heart of the man she never stopped loving grow as the forces of the Grange, both past and present, close ranks to influence Sam and Beth’s destiny. Will they make it, or will their love be doomed to fail, like those who have gone before them?
