A woman is haunted--both literally and figuratively--by ghosts of
the past in this second novel of the Royal Street series by New York
Times bestselling author Karen White.
Nola Trenholm may not be psychic herself, but she's spent enough time
around people who are to know when ghosts are present, and there are
definitely a few lingering spirits in her recently purchased Creole
cottage in New Orleans. Something, or someone, is keeping them tethered
to this world. And not all of them are benign.
But with the sudden return of Sunny Ryan, Beau Ryan's long-lost sister,
Nola has plenty to distract her from her ghostly housemates. Especially
when the tempting--yet firmly unavailable--Beau, wanting to mete out
justice to those he blames for Sunny's kidnapping, asks Nola for a favor
that threatens to derail her hard-won recovery and send her hurtling
backward. He asks her to welcome Michael Hebert back into her life, even
though Michael is the reason for Nola's bruised heart. Beau is convinced
that Michael's powerful family was behind Sunny's disappearance and that
Michael is the key to getting information the police won't be able to
ignore--if Nola is willing to risk everything for which she's worked so
hard.
Torn between helping Beau and protecting herself, Nola doesn't realize
until it's almost too late why the ghosts are haunting her house--a
startling revelation that will throw her and Beau together to fight a
common enemy. Assuming Nola can get Beau to listen to what the spirits
are trying to tell him, because ignoring them could prove to be a fatal
mistake...
