A deadly
storm, a missing three-year-old child, a grisly murder, and the eerie presence
of the spirits of the dead set the stage for the second mesmerizing installment
of Loretta Marion's paranormal suspense series.
A powerful storm descends upon Cape Cod's Whale Rock at the peak of tourist
season--and the weekend Cassandra Mitchell's and Daniel Benjamin's wedding is
set to take place at The Bluffs, the magnificent Victorian mansion Cassie
inherited from her family. In the wake of the storm's destruction,
three-year-old Lucas Kleister goes missing--and the body of small-time drug
dealer Lee Chambers is found in a restaurant dumpster. Now, the WRPD are faced
with a murder to solve, a missing child to find, and the aftermath of one of
the worst storms in recent memory.
While aiding with the clean-up and helping the displaced, Cassie has been
receiving cryptic messages from the spirits of her great-grandparents, Percy
and Celeste Mitchell, the original residents of The Bluffs. At first, the
messages are benign, but soon, they begin to point to something more sinister. As
Cassie works to decipher their meaning, the specter of a mysterious local
legend surfaces. The tale of Barnacle Boy--and what happened to him during
another destructive storm decades earlier--will weave through the desperate
search to find Lucas and the identity of the killer.

patriarch’s dying proclamation, an enigmatic disappearance, and a century-old
curse converge in the shadows of a majestic home on Cape Cod’s craggy coast.
Thirty-seven-year-old
painter Cassandra Mitchell is fourth-generation to live in the majestic
Battersea Bluffs, a brooding Queen Anne home originally built by her
great-grandparents, Percy and Celeste Mitchell, and still standing despite tragedies
that have swept the generations. Local lore has it that there was a curse
placed on the family and the house is haunted, though opinions are divided on
whether it's by malicious or benevolent spirits. Cassie believes the latter―but
now she stands to lose her beloved home to mounting debt and the machinations
of her dream-weaving ex-husband.

Salvation
seems to arrive when a nomadic young couple wanders onto the property with the
promise of companionship and much-needed help―until they vanish without a
trace, leaving behind no clue to their identities. Cassie is devastated, but
determined to discover what's happened to the young couple...even as digging
into their disappearance starts to uncover family secrets of her own. Despite
warnings from her childhood friend, now the local Chief of Police―as well as an
FBI agent who pushes the boundaries of professionalism―Cassie can't help
following the trail of clues (and eerie signals from the old house itself) to
unravel the mystery. But can she do so before her family's dark curse destroys
everything in its path?

Loretta has loved reading and creating with words since
she was a young girl. And that affection for the written word followed her like
a shadow throughout her life as she put pen to paper crafting marketing and
advertising copy, educational brochures and newsletters. But her passion for
writing fiction evolved from the unlikely world of hospice. As a volunteer, she
set out to establish a Legacy Story program to honor and preserve the rich
heritage of the fascinating people who were soon to leave this world. The
meaningful experience inspired her to create her own interesting characters and
stories.

Though born and raised in the Midwest, Loretta fell in
love with New England and has made it the setting for much of her writing. When
not whipping out words on her laptop, she is traveling, enjoying outdoor pursuits,
or is curled up with a delicious new book. Loretta lives in Rhode Island with
her husband, Geoffrey, and their beloved Mr. Peabody, a sweet, devoted and
amusing “Corgador” (Corgi-Labrador cross).
