Blurb

Stuck in ghostly limbo for 238 years, James
Addison can’t move on to an afterlife. 
After being falsely accused of treason and executed, fate’s cursed him
to remain an earth-bound specter until he meets a historian sent to research
his past.

Distrustful
of fate, Dr. April Branford wants to be taken seriously, but her unique ability
to divine history by touching objects seriously compromises her credibility.
Her latest assignment?  James Addison, a
legendary colonial ladies’ man with a shadowy past.  Without much to go on, she doesn’t hold out
much hope to discover the man behind the legend until the day she accidentally
touches him and brings him back to life.

With
the help of family and ghosts from James’s past, they unravel the truth. But
after falling in love and with time running out, it’s hard for April to believe
in fate and a future where forever is now.

 

Excerpt

“Who
are you?”April asked.

“You
already know the answer, Dr. Branford. You saw me out at the mill the other
day.”

Her
eyes widened. “You’re…James Addison.”

She
knew. But whether or not she accepted the knowledge was yet to be seen.

“Really,
I did want to tell you the truth about me, but I couldn’t. Not knowing how you
would react, I couldn’t take the chance of having you run away from me. I don’t
want you to fear me, or what I am. You’re the only person who has ever been
able to see me in this form. But more importantly, you’re the only person who’s
cared.”

She
stopped and turned. “I can see you. But you’re not real…I don’t know…”

“You
make me feel real again,” he said softly.

She
muttered profanities under her breath. “I don’t have time for ghosts. I’ve a
case to solve. Go back to wherever it is you came from.” April waved him off.

“I
can’t. This is where I am. Right here, right now. There is no place for me to
go back to.” James knew this couldn’t be easy for her to understand. “Perhaps I
could be of assistance to you, since you know who I am.”

“How
do I know you really are James Addison?”

“You
don’t,” he agreed. “But what would it take to prove to you I am?”

“Tell
me where he is buried,” she challenged.

James
shrugged. “Easy enough, but I would prefer to show you.”

 

Author Bio and Links

Loni
Lynne is a stay at home mom, domestic goddess, U.S. Navy Veteran and

lover
of all things vintage/shabby-chic/Victorian and antique. From china cups

and
tea sets to lace doilies crocheted by hand (her grandmother made the best)

she
believes a touch of femininity never goes out of style.

Growing
up all over the country she’s been blessed with experiencing a good

deal
of culture and lifestyles. Much like her personality, she has eclectic

tastes
in what she likes to read and write. There is no ‘one’ genre in which

she
settles for.

God
and fate have been big influences in her life. Both have taken her to

places
she never thought she’d be, both in the physical sense and in the

spiritual.
She wrote brief stories and snippets of life as it happened to her

in
her youth, and encouraged by her teachers, continued to write. Blessed with

a
loving supportive family growing up, she was able to explore her options

which
at times have been put into use in her stories. The Navy–and fate,

afforded
her the opportunity to meet her Army, “Annapolis-native” husband and

team
up with him to parent two beautiful daughters.

Years
later, her husband gave her the best birthday present ever–a laptop, a

membership
to Romance Writers of America and a goal to complete a

manuscript
for submission by her next birthday. She did it. A few years later

she
was blessed with one of those novels, Wanted: One Ghost, as her

debut
novel.
