Lost in the Dark

Contemporary / Romance

"Evil is coming"... just what a cop-turned-PI didn't want to hear. Ashley Medearis was a great cop until she died. She can't tell you what's on the other side, but she came back with the ability to talk with the dead. Her sabbatical lands her in Camden Point, searching for answers, but only finds more questions, a string of missing women, a hot cop in her bed, and a ghost who's stalking her. Small-town police detective and widower Nate Daines moved to Connecticut, hoping to heal his heart. He never expected to find the second love of his life. If only she'd let him love her. Ashley is everything he's not. He can't get her out of his head or his heart, but they have a job to do. The clock is ticking with one dead woman, and more missing and now, Ashley might be the next target. He'll do anything to protect her because they have more than chemistry, more than a case to solve. She's the other half of his soul.
