Kindred Spirits

Author’s luck has taken a turn for the worse. Not only is her house haunted, but Having retreated to her island after being violently assaulted, she must come to terms with her fear or let him die on her beach. Her decision takes them through a tumultuous journey that crosses centuries.

In Kindred Spirits, a paranormal romance suspense thriller, Jeannette Carpenter, a famous author, has isolated herself on her family’s island off the coast of Massachusetts after being viciously assaulted and nearly killed. She’s known since childhood that her house is haunted, but when a mysterious man washes up on her beach, battered and unconscious just before a Nor’easter hits, she is forced into dealing with her fear of strangers. It’s either that or let him die.

Jeannette is not prepared for what fate has in store for her. Back- to-back storms result in her being trapped with James Callahan, who has no idea who he is or how he washed up on her beach. As his memories return piecemeal, his own past invades the sanctity of her island and her fears and suppressed anguish are reawakened. Still, they seem to have been made for each other, kindred spirits, and all the while she struggles against her increasing desire for him.

As long as they’re trapped on the island anyway, first by storms and later by circumstances, she and James travel together through generations of her family’s history to solve a 140 year old crime. In doing so, they enable the reunion of her great-great-grandfather and great-great-grandmother, thereby releasing the ghosts who have been imprisoned in the family house.
