Ghosts of New England: Last Light Point

Welcome to Last Light Point, a small town located along the New England coastline somewhere north of Boston (we think). It's weathered many a nor'easter, as well as an assortment of truly evil people. Rumor has it you'll find more than alcoholic spirits at the popular tavern, The Crowe's Nest.

Are you ready for an adventure? Sit back and let us tell you some ghost stories. Just don't look at the gibbet!

The Pirate's Promise (Autumn 1728) by Lisa A. Olech

The Crowe's Nest Tavern was located in a very fortuitous place. If you were condemned to hang in Execution Square, they were your last stop!

Everly Crowe along with her father and two sisters ran The Crowe's Nest Tavern that was rumored to be slightly haunted.

John Beckett was a pirate, or not. Forced upon the account, he'd lost his belief in a lot of things before he caught the eye of a bonny serving lass who was fierce enough to go toe to boot with his captor and captain, Bartholomew Jacques.

Jacques held a note on the tavern and tormented Everly and her family as he terrorized all the small towns up and down the coast. But even his threats and deceit couldn't keep Everly and John from promising themselves to each other, 'till death they do part.

Smoke and Mirrors (Autumn 1867) by Kathryn Hills

Sometimes when you knock on heaven's door. . .the dead answer back.

Nights are spent as a table knocker, aiding so-called spiritualists in duping townsfolk into believing their loved ones speak from the grave. Until the ghosts of Last Light Point unmask her before the only man she's ever loved.

Morgan Blackwell invests every penny in The Crowe's Nest. The last thing he expects are charlatans hell-bent on destroying his reputation with so-called séances. Now there are ghosts in his tavern! Must he turn his back on the woman he longs to protect?

Will the dead of Last Light Point guide Willow and Morgan to lasting love? Or will the dark forces they've unleashed lead to ruin?
