Blurb:
The voices of the past are alive behind the iron gates of
Bremore Asylum. Can Rachel and Matt deduce its secrets before it's too late?
When Rachel agrees to take the job investigating the
disappearance of a fellow ghost hunter at Bremore Asylum, she is totally
unprepared for the sexy and stubborn psychic debunker Matt Rutledge to be a
part of the package. Can these two opposing forces find the answers behind the
asylum's crumbling walls before they become the newest victims to the asylum's
grim history?
Excerpt:
Rachel narrowed her eyes. What little hold she held on her
frayed temper snapped. Self-doubt flared, but she stamped it out as quickly as
it came.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She stepped
forward, hands clenched into fists, her foot brushing against the luggage. Her
hoodie slid off the suitcase and flopped unceremoniously into the dirt.
"We haven't even started on the project and you're
trying to displace me already?"
Rutledge stepped back, surprise clear on his lightly parted
lips. Lips she apparently still wanted to kiss, damn his eyes. God, what was
wrong with her?
"My friend almost died because of a mistake I made. But
you're already aware of that, aren't you, Mr. High and Mighty? Listen to me and
listen good. I'm here because my grandmother needs me. I'm a damn fine ghost
hunter, which you would already know if you bothered to see beyond what
happened to Jeannie." She poked her finger into his chest and had the
satisfaction of seeing him wince.
Matt stepped back and held up his hands, a ruddy flush
creeping up his cheeks. "Okay. I was out of line. Truce?" He bent
down and carefully picked up her hoodie, handing it to her gingerly.
"Thank you, Mr. Rutledge." Rachel snatched the
hoodie from his hands and tied it around her waist with a firm yank. She didn't
want to chance it falling in the dirt again and it was going to be a long
weekend. At the rate they were going, it was going to be a full-on ice storm
between them.
A flash of humor crossed his face. "Do you think maybe
you could call me Matt?"
"That depends."
"On what?" Matt cocked his eyebrow with surprise.
"On whether you can stop dissecting me like one of your
frauds."
