In exchange for a large inheritance, a librarian from Cincinnati relocates to a small island to take over a historic library. But it seems her new home already has a tenant: the grumpy and all-too-handsome great-nephew of the property’s previous owner.
As the two butt heads in an effort to stake their claims, they’re plagued by a series of strange “hauntings” that don’t seem to be coming from the great beyond. Now, poised to defend the library against these living threats, the two must join forces―and an undeniable attraction is soon brewing between them.
Manda Collins grew up on a combination of Nancy Drew books and Jane Austen novels, and her own brand of Regency romantic suspense is the result. A former academic librarian, she holds advanced degrees in English Lit and Librarianship. Her books have been favorably reviewed in Entertainment Weekly, Library Journal, Booklist, Publisher's Weekly, Bookpage, and USA Today. A native of Alabama, she lives on the Gulf Coast with a very stubborn cat and more books than are strictly necessary.
