A woman is haunted-both literally and figuratively-by ghosts of the past in this second novel of the Royal Street series by New York Times bestselling author Karen White.Nola Trenholm may not be psychic herself, but shes spent enough time around people who are to know when ghosts are present, and there are definitely a few lingering spirits in her recently purchased Creole cottage in New Orleans. Something, or someone, is keeping them tethered to this world. And not all of them are benign.But with the sudden return of Sunny Ryan, Beau Ryans long-lost sister, Nola has plenty to distract her from her ghostly housemates. Especially when the tempting-yet firmly unavailable-Beau, wanting to mete out justice to those he blames for Sunnys kidnapping, asks Nola for a favor that threatens to derail her hard-won recovery and send her hurtling backward. He asks her to welcome Michael Hebert back into her life, even though Michael is the reason for Nolas bruised heart. Beau is convinced that Michaels powerful family was behind Sunnys disappearance and that Michael is the key to getting information the police wont be able to ignore-if Nola is willing to risk everything for which shes worked so hard.Torn between helping Beau and protecting herself, Nola doesnt realize until its almost too late why the ghosts are haunting her house-a startling revelation that will throw her and Beau together to fight a common enemy. Assuming Nola can get Beau to listen to what the spirits are trying to tell him, because ignoring them could prove to be a fatal mistake...
