The Lost Trinkets Series

Helping someone get closure could open the door to her own heartbreak.   After a month of cleaning, tidying, and getting to know her neighbors—particularly Mitch, who warms her belly with his food and her bed with his body—Shannon Pryce is ready to throw open Trinket's doors to the Petrie's Crossing tourist crowd. She's also ready to return another item in the box she found in her late aunt's desk. This time, it's a silver ring that sends visions from Shannon's fingertips to her mind's eye, plus something new and worrisome: the echoing cries of a woman's pain.With the help of her ghostly twin, Steph, and her aunt's diary, Shannon sets out to unravel a mystery filled with love and heartbreak in her quest to return the ring to its rightful owner—hopefully while keeping her psychic power a secret.But hiding her ability gets harder every time she reaches into that box of trinkets. Especially with an author researching the crime that drove her away from Birmingham hounding her for an interview. If the town gossips catch wind of her past, Shannon could lose everything—her new shop, her new life…maybe even her new love.

When the gloves come off, the truth comes out…   Ghosts of the past hover at Shannon Pryce's fingertips, waiting for her to touch the things they loved and envision snapshots of their lives. With the ghostly spirit of her wise-cracking twin sister at her side, Shannon's gift made her the most sought-after psychic in Birmingham. Until she tried to help the police find a missing boy alive—and failed. When she inherits Trinkets, an antique store in small-town Petrie's Crossing, she jumps at the chance to leave the nightmares behind. The dusty shop comes with a cat, quirky neighbors, and Mitch—sexy owner of the corner diner, whose touch leaves her weak-kneed with desire. Trinkets also comes with a hidden cache of seemingly unrelated objects, each with a mystery to untangle. Shannon resolves to return each one to its rightful owner, though even this small, hesitant use of her gift reopens a Pandora's box of flashbacks. Can she manage to accomplish her mission, keep her sanity, fall in love, and sidestep the local police, all while keeping her gift off the town gossips' radar?

When the past is unlocked, no telling what will come out…   Shannon Pryce is slowly settling into small-town life, but with a psychic gift like hers to hide, fitting in is more of a challenge. If she's ever to put down real roots in Petrie's Crossing's red-clay soil, it's time to widen her circle beyond a few friends, acquaintances, and one smoking-hot lover. It's also time to solve the mystery of the next object in her late Aunt Caroline's box, this time a brass key. Oddly enough, the key transmits the same disturbing impressions she picks up inside the railroad museum—fire, smoke, pleas for help from an underground trap. Worse, the author who's been hounding her for an interview is asking too many personal questions—and threatening to show up on her doorstep. Can Shannon dig deep enough to find the key's rightful owner, heal a woman's broken heart, and find the strength to confront the ghosts of her own past?

When you take the next step, hold on tight—the ride could get rough.   Shannon Pryce thought that once she left Birmingham, her past would stay behind. Instead, it's nipping at her heels and tearing holes in her plan to live a quiet, normal life in Petrie's Crossing.Things are still hot and spicy with Mitch, but with a tell-all book hitting the shelves—and Mitch ready to take the next step—how long can she stay off the town busybodies' hot topics list?Her emotions grow even more tangled when she touches a locket from her late aunt's box of trinkets. The impression of love and loss is almost too much to bear. Worse, as Shannon's psychic power grows stronger, the ghost of her twin sister, Stephanie, seems to be growing weaker.Yet as she pushes herself to discover the locket's story, her quest to start over with a clean slate doesn't seem like such a high priority. Not when there's an injustice to make right…even if it turns her own house of cards into a ton of bricks.

Don't go digging in a graveyard. You could unearth more than just secrets…        When Shannon accidentally drops the Lost Trinkets box, she finds a hidden compartment containing a carved ivory pipe. She tries to let her psychometric gift find its rightful owner, but the pipe is oddly silent.      Tapping reluctantly into Petrie's Crossing gossip mill, Shannon finds a confusing tangle of old grudges, feuding families, and an endangered graveyard.      If there's one thing Shannon knows for sure, you never mess with the resting dead. But to make sense of this mystery, she'll have to reveal a few secrets of her own…and risk losing everything she's come to love.

Will her New Year's resolution heal her heart? Or break it into pieces?   Her relationship with Mitch is at a crossroads, Shannon knows it's time to tell him everything. The tragedy that drove her to escape to Petrie's Crossing. How she came to own Trinkets. And her quest to use her gift and return each item in her secret box to its rightful owner. One of which, she now knows, belongs to Mitch. As their relationship wobbles on shaky ground, a person from Shannon's past appears, bearing a message she's not ready to hear. Leaving her wondering if she belongs in Petrie's Crossing, or if she's destined to keep running.

There's no time like the present to mend the past…and a pair of broken hearts.   The plain old wristwatch from Shannon's box of trinkets reveals a fractured, incomplete vision of a young man frantic to leave town before he suffers retaliation for…something. Shannon's not sure what, or even who the young man is. A familiar name surfaces in the vision—Michelline, an elderly shop owner whose roots reach back deep into Louisiana's Hoodoo culture.       But as Shannon's visions reveal more pieces of the puzzle—some of them drenched in blood—she begins to wonder if this is one trinket that could cause more heartbreak than healing. 

To save a missing child, Shannon must face the ghosts of her own past.   Shannon and her ghost sister, Steph, delve into the trinket box once more to return a small treasure to its rightful owner. But just as they're pondering a ring bearing an unusual orange stone, the whole town of Petrie's Crossing goes code red over a missing child.   It's little Clare, an angelic seven-year-old who Shannon knows can see ghosts.   While the townspeople put their differences aside to pull together, something within Shannon freezes. It's too much like the case that forced her to seek refuge where no one knows her past. But as the first critical hours pass and the search grows more desperate, those few whom she dared share her secret turn to her, asking, begging her to do something.   It's different this time. The stakes are higher, the search more deeply personal. But with Steph at her side and Mitch holding her hand, Shannon finds the courage to open herself to visions that could break her. All the while hoping and praying that this time, the story will have a happy ending.      

Two runaway hearts. A love in hiding. One small secret that might never be found…   The downside of being roped into dying 100 eggs for the Petrie's Crossing Easter Egg Hunt? Well…dying 100 eggs without cracking any shells. But there's an upside that makes Shannon smile. Getting included in the town's celebrate-every-holiday obsession is a good sign she's been accepted.After a month-long break from her Aunt Caroline's trinkets box, enjoying Mitch's cooking, Shannon takes the gloves off for a set of vintage hairpins.

The mystery deepens with the discovery the young woman was reported missing and never found. The problem is, Shannon's visions have revealed details that could close a cold case—but break a family's hearts. Can she return the trinkets while withholding the truth? Or will trusting one person too many cause a backlash that could drive her away from all she loves—her adopted home town, her friends, even Mitch?
