Spirit Lake (Book 1)
Nestled near the base of Pennsylvania's Allegheny National Forest is the small town of Spirit Lake. Rich in folklore, it has become a tourist attraction due to its quaint atmosphere and unique antique shops. When Erica Parkhurst flees New York City in the wake of a marital split and accidentally discovers the little hamlet she is intrigued by the ghost stories surrounding the local inn and the mist-shrouded lake nearby. Then one night she encounters a mysterious man on the dock but before she can find out his name he disappears into the fog. Did she imagine him? During a trip into town the next day she sees the man again and follows him into a dead end alley, where he vanishes once more!
Hot on the trail of his soon-to-be ex wife, Grant Parkhurst shows up unexpectedly at the inn but Erica flees out the back door into the surrounding woods to avoid a confrontation. Lost and frightened, she is met by a rescuer of the canine variety who leads her to a secluded cabin where she finally meets her elusive stranger, Joe Lakota, and his trusty wolf/dog, Mingo.
Soon Erica finds herself not only surrounded by ghostly happenings but involved in a murder case when a skeleton washes up at the edge of the lake and Joe becomes the prime suspect. Suddenly she is plagued by questions. Who haunts the inn with the troubled past and why? Is Joe a murderer? Can she risk falling in love with a man who may be a murderer? And what other secrets are hidden beneath the glassy surface of Spirit Lake?
Echoes of the Past (Book II)
It's mid-October and now that her divorce is final, Erica Parkhurst is free to return to Spirit Lake and Joe Lakota, the man she left behind. Yet she is riddled with doubts and fears. Can they rekindle their romance of the summer? And can she put aside memories of her terrifying experience at the hands of a cold blooded killer and go back to the small town in Western Pennsylvania?
A frantic phone call from the inn’s owner settles that question and Erica returns to the quaint little town with her best friend, Paula Bascilla, a self-professed psychic, in tow. “This place is alive with spirit activity,” Paula proclaims as she enters the inn for the first time. Soon, those spirits make themselves known as an evil undercurrent plagues the inn’s occupants.
When one of the guests is found dead in the lake, and more of Joe’s secret past comes to light, Erica is once again thrown into a whirlwind of turmoil. Can their love survive yet another betrayal of trust? Should it?
