Synopsis (Goodreads):
A nerdy (but sexy) scientist.Thoughts on Sinister Sanctuary: Writers, man. They have overactive imaginations and are slightly manic with a deadline looming. Not that I'd know from personal experience or anything.
A writer on deadline.
A haunted lighthouse.
And a secret worth killing for...
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.
Teddy Mack has to finish the latest book her bestselling thriller series, or her editor and agent are going to come and park themselves on her desk and force her to write--so she decides to cloister herself in a small cottage attached to a Lake Michigan lighthouse for the summer. No wifi, no Internet, no distractions...
Until a heartbroken Oscar London, PhD, shows up with all of his microbiology equipment and takes over the same rental property. There's been a double-booking, and neither Teddy nor Oscar are willing to leave, and so the neurotic writer and the love-bruised scientist decide to make do--and stay out of each other's way.
Which isn't all that easy to do after sharing an unexpected kiss in a hot tub...
Nonetheless, everything seems to be fine until Teddy discovers a ghost is haunting her writing space, and Oscar--who has no time for such silliness--discovers a clue related to a disappearance that happened near the lighthouse.
Things become even more hairy when Teddy and Oscar realize someone is trying to drive them out of the lighthouse--or crazy. Which ever comes first.
Anywho. Teddy certainly has the manic thing going once she settles into her writing groove. Good thing a mix-up with the rental agency lands Oscar in her orbit. Because that lady wouldn't have done half as well if she hadn't had him looking out for her when she couldn't look out for herself. (Which isn't to say she couldn't have looked out for herself, but DEADLINES, man. DEADLINES.)
As for Oscar, he's a sweetie. A slightly doubting sweetie when it comes to ghosts, but a sweetie all the same. Teddy is just what the good doctor needs to get over his former lady friend. Which sounds like Teddy's a rebound, but she isn't. She's just Teddy. And she makes Oscar appreciate everything life has to offer again.
On top of the budding romance, there's also a ghost. As one expects in Wicks Hollow, right? There's also a little danger. Again, as one expects. Throw in a few busybodies and a small town that knows everything in everyone's life and you've got a recipe for an exciting read.
