Spirits of the Crescent (Crescent Cove #1)

Sometimes the most profound connections are born from the shadows of the past.When Aggy Dempsey returns to Crescent Cove to restore the historic Piper Manor, she expects hard work and a house full of secrets. What she finds is far more complicated. Something in the old Victorian is trying to be heard.

Sheriff Ansel Flynn wants nothing to do with the manor or the sharp-tongued New Yorker determined to bring it back to life. Still haunted by the brutal murder of his fiancée, he has spent years living for justice and little else. The last thing he needs is a woman who seems intent on uncovering every buried secret in town… or the way she somehow gets under his skin.

But when a present-day threat begins circling closer, the past and the living collide. Old wounds reopen. New dangers surface. And the more time Ansel spends around Aggy, the harder it becomes to keep his distance.

In a house that remembers everything, some truths refuse to stay buried—and some connections refuse to be denied.

This book stands on its own. One Day, A Thousand Autumns is a related prequel with different leads, set before these events.
