ABOUT THE BOOK:  A psychic interior designer reluctantly agrees to renovate a sexy investor’s abandoned hotel on a lake rumored to have once been the mob’s body dumping ground.

Interior designer Kate Bardach loves her single girl’s lifestyle—living in Manhattan and spending weekends at her lake house. She’s passionate about her career: reinventing old buildings. But there are some projects she can’t take on because of the spirits trapped there. Kate is psychic—she sees dead people.

Marco Lareci is one of Wall Street’s most successful investment brokers who’s achieved all of his life’s goals—except for finding his soulmate. His latest project, an abandoned resort on Loch Sheldrake, needs a savvy designer to transform the crumbling complex into a boutique hotel. When Marco meets Kate, he can’t believe his luck. She’s the perfect match for his business and his heart.

Marco’s body excites Kate even more than does his renovation project. But the haunting there, a bonafide poltergeist, affects her on an intensely personal level. Kate’s aunt disappeared from the place fifty years ago.

Will the spirit doom Kate and Marco’s love, or drive them closer together?

From Book Blogger TMBorgwardt, 5 stars: “There is mystery, love, betrayal, murder, supernatural and even some heartbreak in this story… I enjoyed this Book and look forward to more from this author.”

From Book Blogger Heena Rathore, 4 stars: “This book started out with a brilliant opening and I was dragged into the story right from the very first page.”

From Bailey (Amazon), 5 stars: “I was sucked in immediately by the writing and crafting of characters and truly couldn't put it down. The paranormal plot enhancement and emotional ending had me in tears.”

“Congratulations, pretty woman. I guess we both bet on the right horse today.”

Kate shrieked and spun around toward the deep voice coming not only from behind, but above her. She’d had no idea she wasn’t the only one in the stands. How could she possibly have missed this guy?

He appeared taller than he probably was, standing on the level above her which gave him a nine-inch advantage. Broad and imposing under a voluminous, black trench coat, he looked like an old-time mobster with his dark hair and oddly hued, light eyes. And those eyes were studying her with an expression Kate couldn’t quite decipher.

Interest? Curiosity? Or downright hunger?
