Description:
Medium
and paranormal investigator Arabella Pierce is sent with her crew to
Kingston Cottage, a haunted Maine seafarer’s cottage on an isolated
island. For this investigation, her boss has stuck them with
skeptical reporter Lucas Brown. Though he’s hot as they come,
Arabella can’t trust a man whose sole job is to discredit her and
the work she does. Not after what happened with the last few
skeptics…
All
Lucas may want is the truth, but that doesn't change her feelings
towards him. And when the ghosts appear, she and Lucas must work
together—in tight quarters—to convince the resident ghosts to
move on before a storm strands the entire crew on the island. Can
Arabella put aside her prejudices long enough to see what the ghosts
are trying to tell her? And if she does, will she and Lucas have a
shot at a lifetime?
Excerpt:
“And
what investigation are we doing? You didn’t say.”
“Kingston
Cottage.”
Arabella
stared at him, shocked. “Are you serious?”
He
nodded. “The owners contacted me last week, and informed me they
need to sell the house as soon as possible. They want to put it on
the market this month, due to personal reasons. In order to do that,
they need to know what’s inside … and how to get rid of it.”
“No
one has ever been allowed to investigate it…” she trailed off in
awe.
Folger
smiled. “Until now.”
She
couldn’t help but return his smile. The feeling of a fresh,
no-one-else-has-done-it kind of hunt was too much of a thrill to pass
up. Historic Kingston Cottage was located on a small island, all by
itself, and had been rumored to be haunted since before Arabella was
born. She had seen pictures and taken boat rides past the island, but
she’d never set foot on the private property.
“When
do we have to be at the docks?” she inquired as she stood, grabbing
her coat off the back of the chair.
“Seven
o’clock tomorrow morning. Don’t be late. Dustin is taking you
over. But, Arabella—” She looked at him, knowing that tone. “It’s
just going to be you, the reporter, Nick, and Lena. I need the rest
of the crew on a different hunt.”
She
paused at the door. Nick was one of their tech guys, and Lena was a
lead investigator, like Arabella. Five more investigators rounded off
the team. But the more she thought about Folger’s decision to use a
small crew, the more it made sense, especially within the limited
space of the cottage. “Nick and Lena,” she began, “do they know
about the … ‘reporter’?”
Folger
rolled his eyes, clearly hearing the quotation marks in her tone.
“Yes.
I asked them not to speak of it until I talked to you myself. I think
that was best, don’t you?”
Arabella
chose to ignore the rolling eyes. “And the reporter?”
“He’ll
be there at seven sharp as well. His name’s Lucas Brown, and he’s
a serious reporter.”
She
nodded slowly, not really believing him. “I’ll check in when we
get there.”
“Please
do, and be sure to pack extra clothes. You know how storms brew up
suddenly here. I don’t want you all stranded without necessities.
The owners left you some food. Expect to be on the island at least
three days, maybe four. Oh, and there’s also a generator in the
basement if you lose power.”
“Good
to know, and it was nice of them to leave some food.”
“Yes.
They’re good people.”
She
found it a bit strange that the crew wasn’t going to meet the
owners before the investigation, and stranger still that she had
never met them. Noble was a small town along the central Maine
coast—it was pretty rare not to put a name to a face.
“Oh,
and Arabella,” Folger called as she left his office. “Try not to
push him into the bay.”
