Megan O’Neill sees it hanging in the sky above the towers of Grayhaven Manor—a beautiful yet sinister black rainbow, a warning to the estate’s new governess to stay away. She is tempted to pick up her sodden, clinging skirts and flee into the rainy night. Yet the warmth and kindness of the Mandeville family, owners of the local cotton mill, banish her fears—and her hypnotic obsession for her handsome, mysterious new employer, Edmund, blinds her to the darkness within.  
 
But desire always has its price. And the shocking secrets enclosed in Grayhaven’s walls threaten to pull Megan into the terrifying shadows, never to emerge again . . .

Devon Cove Ghost

Jeremy Tyrrell

The out-of-doors haunting at Devon Cove presented its own unique problems, yet the cliff-tops, the wind and rain and lightning, and even the hostile townsfolk, all posed less of a problem than the conflict of the tormented ghost we hunted. Her anguish reminded us - the Professor, Milena, Felix and I - of the sobering reality that ghosts were once people. 
This is the seventh book in the Paranormology Series.
