About this book

He sees the dead.

She’s running from her past.

But when a cursed box brings a literal demon into her bedroom, the only man who can save her soul is the one who’s already stolen her heart.

A Medium Who’s Seen It All

Psychic medium Sean LeBlanc is the king of the French Quarter’s haunted history. He’s spent his life communicating with spirits, turning the loudest skeptics into believers. But he’s never met anyone like Emily…a woman who makes him want a future he thought was buried with his past.

A Skeptic with a Secret

Emily Rollins is a rational nurse practitioner who only believes in what she can see, touch, and heal. She moved to New Orleans for a fresh start, determined to leave behind the ghosts of her sister’s tragic obsession with the paranormal. When a mysterious wooden chest arrives on her doorstep, she thinks it’s a harmless memento—not a vessel for an ancient, dark energy.

From their first meeting at a masquerade ball as Westley and Buttercup, the chemistry between Sean and Emily is explosive. But as the sinister force inside the box begins to manifest, Emily’s logic fails her.

With a demon targeting her sanity and Sean’s life on the line, she must decide if she can trust her heart to the man who talks to the dead…before they both end up on the other side.

If you love witty banter, swoon-worthy heroes, steamy New Orleans nights, and a romance that’s both heart-melting and high-heat, you’ll burn for Love and Ghosts.

Perfect for readers who love psychic investigators and a touch of spooky mystery with their steamy romance.

I wasn't 100% sure if this was going to be a horror story filled with darkness or something a little lighter. It IS on the lighter side with a bit of suspense, a wonderful romance, great friendships and some really quirky individuals thrown into the mix. I read every word in this book from...

A fun, edgy, suspenseful new book!

Set in The Big Easy, Love & Ghosts draws you in from the start with the wonderfully blunt Trish questioning her best friend, lead female Emily, about a possible one night stand as they’re heading into a masquerade ball. The conversation that followed set up an interesting and painful backstory that plays a major role throughout the rest of the book. Trish proves herself once again by forcing Emily to open up to life a little with a fun and steamy dare. Enter Sean. As the Dread Pirate Roberts no...

I enjoyed reading this well written story. The characters are fully developed and likable. The plot is well paced and suspenseful. The ending was great. I was a little irritated with Emily's denial. )
