Synopsis

After his city life crashes, Reggie Neet gets a new start when he inherits a secluded estate on Lake Wyrd in a North Carolina forest. But the lake front home harbors more than just the chance to dwell closer to nature.
 
With the property comes a library of mystical texts, his uncle’s very large and telepathic cat, and a neighboring coven of witches, including the captivating Samantha. Reggie’s hope for a peaceful return to nature evaporates when Sinrix, the cat, lets Reggie know there is a mystery to solve about his uncle’s demise, and Samantha insists that Reggie has untapped magical potential.
 
Skeptical but intrigued, Reggie takes his first steps into a world he never believed in. But after bodies begin to surface and a certain Detective Mullins becomes suspicious, Reggie must embrace his latent druidic powers and unravel the truth behind the murders - before he becomes the next victim.
 
Mystery and romance make for a compelling mix in this layered cozy paranormal tale. Can Reggie rise to the challenge and uncover his true destiny, or will the shadow over Lake Wyrd claim him forever?

But when she arrived at the mansion and was greeted by the stern, mysterious and intimidating Mrs. Blackwell, Estelle began to see what had been meant as a punishment might possibly become more like a reward…if only she could manage to find her place in the dreary household and the service of Mrs. Virginia Hemford, the childlike beauty Estelle had been sent to serve. 
    Soon the secrets of Hemford House begin to reveal themselves, one by one, as Estelle tries her best to take care of Ginny and avoid her confusing feelings for the intimidating Mrs. Blackwell.

    Or from whom?

    A Short, Shuddery Tale 
    A story that shows how powerful a dream can be. Very chilling, especially if you don't like snakes. A short and sweet nightmare highlighting his fascination with dreams, reincarnation and other spiritualist/occult subjects. Howard's storytelling powers are just as good at capturing the helplessness of a horror victim as they are with narrating the exploits of swashbuckling heroes.

    Do you believe in love after death? I didn't, until now . . . 
     
     
     
    Looking for a fresh start, I just became the proud owner of a piece of New Orleans history: an Antebellum-era two-story house in the Garden District. It's going to take time and a fat wallet to restore the fixer-upper to its former glory, but after my recent divorce, I could use the distraction. And a stiff drink, but that's another story . . . 
     
     
     
    It's not long before I discover I've moved into the haunted house of the flirtatious and very much dead, Drake Montague. Now I'm receiving kisses from unseen lips and caresses from ghostly hands. Soon I even begin to have vivid dreams, bringing me face-to-face with the incomparably handsome ghost of a twentieth century French policeman. 
     
     
     
    Meanwhile, I'm also growing closer to my general contractor, Ryan Kelly—who is as charming as he is alive. 
     
     
     
    The chill in the air could only suggest Drake's jealousy from beyond the grave . . . men, right? 
     
     
     
    Even though I'm definitely attracted to and interested in Ryan, I also can't get Drake out of my dreams, or my heart, as I begin to uncover the frightening truth behind his death a century ago . . . 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
