About this series
A haunted plantation house, a decades old mystery . . . and a surprise for Lucien and Eve
Married at last, Eve and Lucien Thorpe's life together is very near ideal. They continue to work as a team, eliminating unwanted ghosts from haunted houses, and their love remains strong. Eve is convinced that all she needs in order to be truly happy is a baby.
When they're called to Glover Manor to clear it of ghosts for the new owners, Lucien and Eve get much more than they'd bargained for. The ghosts of twin sisters traumatized by war not only haunt the mansion where they were born and raised, they hold other unhappy ghosts there as well. And when O'Hara arrives to assist with the job, he brings along an unexpected guest who threatens to turn the Thorpes' lives upside down.
Confronted once more with unbearable darkness, Lucien questions whether or not he wants to create a child who might have his gift. And Eve is drawn dangerously close to the spirit world by a lonely little boy who calls her Mama.

1
Winner of the 2004 RITA for Paranormal Romance! The only man she would ever love was more fascinated by the dead than he would ever be with her. Eve Abernathy calls on Lucien Thorpe to assist in ridding her house of the ghosts who haunt it, the amorous ghosts who replay their violent deaths night after night. She tells herself, time and again, that she would never ask for Lucien's help if there was any other option. After all, she has not forgiven him for leaving her waiting at the altar, two years earlier. Lucien still loves Eve, still wants her, but she refuses to listen to reason. He didn't forget her, he simply got engrossed in his work and let a day slip by, and it appears that she will never forgive or forget. Always different, always the odd man out, he knows Eve is the only woman for him. As Lucien and Eve work together to send two earthbound spirits to the other side, they rediscover love. They also uncover a murder mystery that threatens not only their happiness, but their very lives.

Trapped by a winter storm and an ancient dark power, can Eve and Lucien's love save them? Once again, Eve Abernathy stands at the altar ready to marry Lucien Thorpe, and he doesn't arrive. He's left her and all their friends waiting... for the second time. She doesn't question his love, not after all they've been through, but how could he do this to her again? When a note from Lucien is delivered to the church - I didn't forget, I didn't forget - Eve and her friends brave the winter weather and set out to rescue him from the infamous haunted Honeycutt Hotel. Snowbound in a long abandoned hotel filled with ghosts and an evil spirit unlike any they have ever encountered, Lucien and Eve fight not only to survive, but to save Lucien's very soul.

Linda Winstead Winstead Jones
The first clue Linda had that she might like to write for a living came when she took a community education class in creative writing at the local high school. Taking classes was her hobby at the time, and creative writing came between yoga and French, or maybe between cake decorating and Chinese cooking. It was her first experience of meeting and working with other writers. She had always loved to read, and soon found that she loved writing. For years writing was just a hobby, one she sometimes attacked with a vengeance and then set aside for months at a time. When the time came to give completing a book a serious try, she was ready. Guardian Angel, a Western historical romance, was written at her kitchen table. Not long after she mailed it to a publisher, she discovered the local RWA chapter, Heart of Dixie, and joined. She knew right away that these were her people, and she hasn't wandered far since. Apparently unable to say no, she has served as conference chairman, president, luncheon chairman, and vice president. Easily bored, she soon deviated from historical romance into time travel, fairy-tale romance, and romantic suspense. When she's not writing, Linda can be found at hockey games (where she's a season ticket holder for the local team), a meeting of writers (a necessity and a joy that she will never give up), or doing the family thing with an ever-growing and wonderful family.
