About this ebook

Serena Murphy was losing her mind.

Every night Serena stood on the deck of O'Flanagans Tavern, searching Maine's rugged coast for a sign of her husband's body. Though he was pronounced lost at sea, Alan Murphy still haunted her as only his malevolent spirit could. In the loft above her tavern, Serena hears footsteps pace across her living room floor, yet when she turns, no one is there.

Alan would not let a little thing like death stop him from tormenting her. If she could just find his body, surely this torture would stop.

It had been ten years since Brett Murphy saw his sister in-law, although the separation was by design, to avoid temptation. Now Brett was in Victory Cove, not to declare his feelings for Serena, but to discover the truth about his brother's death. In doing so, he must battle Serena's ghosts, both real and contrived.

    An engaging story of a strong young lady who was too trusting with a brother-in-law who nursed a love for his brothers wife for ten long years. This tale celebrates the strength of an abused wife who was able to regain love against all odds, through the tender, patient understanding of an honorable brother-in-law. Living alone in a small fishing town, Serena mistook her employees for friends and defended her cruel dispassionate husband even in the face of his infidelity and dishonesty. Her isolation and lost husbands numerous larcenous schemes left her at risk from the many who suffered business loses at her husband's hands. Luckily for her, her brother-in-law was everything her husband wasn't. He came to her rescue (metaphorically and literally), saving her from attempts of her protagonists to drive her into lunacy and bringing a reason to live into her life. Many emotional false starts and turns but, together they solve the mysteries and come together in a healing love that was meant to be. An enjoyable read, hard to put down.

    This was a good story, but I had a few issues with some of the plot line of which I cannot say or it will give away a spoiler. Overall good story with reality well written characters, and a good love story. It would have been better with a more believable plot line, but overall entertaining.

    I found this book very satisfying and interesting. A joy to read and a fast getaway from the summer heat.
