The Awakening

Christina swore she’d never return to her hometown of Hidden Creek, Georgia. Not after the hell she’d been raised in. She’d spent most of her adult life trying to mentally escape what her parents had done to her in the privacy of their home, the home that had haunted all of her dreams and still does. But now that both of her parents have died suddenly, someone needs to come back and take care of everything, which, she planned on the trip home to be a very short one. That was, until she set eyes on the new neighbor.

Michael spent years in the military and police force and thought of himself as a rational adult. He didn’t believe in crazy things like ghosts or spirits. But damn if he can figure out why he keeps seeing one standing at the end of his bed each night. After three years as lead detective on the force in Atlanta and the incident that could have killed him, he decided to retire to the smallest and safest town he could find. What he didn’t expect was to be scared out of his mind by something he couldn’t explain, or to fall for the beautiful raven-haired medium who moves in next door.
