About this book

Some secrets refuse to stay buried—no matter how many hearts they break in the telling…

All Regina McClaine needed was a break. A quiet place to recover from the devastating betrayal that wrecked her professional life…and love life. Her great aunt Muriel’s renovated mansion in Jasper Lake seemed like the perfect place for a fresh start. Until she found herself haunted—literally—by an enigmatic ghost.

Security specialist Knox Sinclair arrived at the lake with secrets of his own. But Muriel asked him to investigate threats against the mansion, and that’s what he intended to do. Until Regina—a woman as beautiful as she was clearly hiding something—snagged his full attention and changed everything…

In a garden blooming with betrayals, unsolved mysteries, and second chances, can Regina put her faith in Knox when it matters most? Or is trust a luxury she simply can’t afford?

The Garden of Forgotten Things, Book 2 in the Jasper Lake Series, is an emotional, slow-burn, small town romantic suspense/gothic romance with paranormal/supernatural elements. Grab your copy today and welcome to Jasper Lake, where restoration means breaking open the walls—and the heart—to let the truth in.
