Uninvited

"You know…" His eyes gave off another pulse of light. "You shouldn't offer me something like that. I might be tempted to take you up on your offer."

He seemed to know what she was thinking. It would not surprise her to find out he did.

"I am sorry it has to be like this." He reached up to caress her face. She nuzzled against his hand, feeling tears wanting to flow. She bit them back and shook her head.
"As long as I have you, even if it is just for a little while. Better than nothing."

His smile was sad. It had always been tinged with sadness; like his eyes. God, she loved those eyes.

"We have this. It’s enough."

Ava whispered as she leaned down to kiss him.

And it was.

Nothing loved is ever lost...

Ava has loved Michael for as long as she can remember so when she receives the call that he has passed away she is shattered.

She inherits his bed and breakfast without knowing that the place is ancient and extremely powerful. Michael passed before he could tell her all the secrets of the building and the hallowed grounds it is built upon but Ava begins to learn very quickly that the old place has far more going for it than a lovely view of the lake.

There are ghosts wandering the property. Every shadow is haunted. Around every corner there is a surprise for Ava. Some of the spooks are benign...but some of them are as real as she is with desires that outmatch her own.

When a ghostly figure appears before her one night she must decide just how far she is willing to go to have a second chance with the man of her dreams.

Love is eternal. So is desire.
