Synopsis (Goodreads):
An uptight lawyer.Thoughts on Sinister Shadows: Okay, Fiona's a hoot. Her determination to figure out what that H stood for in H. Gideon Nath, III's name gave me a giggle. Poor Gideon was thrown all out of sorts by her. Which, as it turns out, was another thing that gave me a giggle.
A carefree palm-reader.
A haunted antiques shop.
And a very mortal villain...
Welcome to Wicks Hollow: a cozy town near Lake Michigan filled with quaint houses, eccentric residents, and more than its share of ghosts, murders, and sexy romance.
When Fiona Murphy inherits a small antiques shop from an old man she met only once, she’s filled with surprise, confusion and delight—and a little bit of terror at having a new responsibility in a life she prefers to be free and easy.
As she takes over ownership of the quaint shop, odd things begin to happen. Lights come on and off by themselves, even when they are unplugged…and there is a chilly breeze accompanied by the scent of roses even when the windows are closed.
H. Gideon Nath, III, is the stuffy and oh-so-proper attorney who helps settle Fiona’s inheritance, and against his better judgment, he finds himself attracted to her, despite her fascination with all things New Age.
After she finds an unpleasant surprise in one of the shop’s closets, scares off an intruder in the store, and uses her skill at palmistry to read Gideon’s future—of which she seems to be a part—Fiona begins to realize that her free and easy life is about to change…whether she wants it to or not.
A ghost story romance set in a small town, featuring a cozy mystery about a ghost that just won’t rest until justice is served. The perfect blend of romance, suspense, and ghosts.
There's something about a tightly wound man learning to loosen up a bit that makes be happy. Gideon was REALLY wound up when he first met Fiona. Frankly, she was his exact opposite on every level. She can read palms and believes in the supernatural. She's bright and vivacious and he's not. At least not on the surface.
It takes a lot for him to mentally reach a place where he was ready to commit himself to Fiona and her exuberant ways. Naturally, a big, nasty speed bump gets thrown up once he does reach that place. And I'm not even talking about the ghost or the other things having to do with Fiona's new shop.
I like Wicks Hollow. It's got a little quirk, a dash of sass, and a WHOLE lot of supernatural shenanigans.
