An addiction counselor & a security guard struggle to free two, lost spirits trapped inside an abandoned mental asylum.

Laura Horton returns from college to move in with an old friend & start her career. But her homecoming is jarring. Her friend has moved out, leaving Laura alone with the gorgeous but intimidating ex-boyfriend—in a house that snugs up to an ancient graveyard.

Officer Miller Stanford is a man with a shattered past. His alcoholic dad destroyed their family, a weakness Miller is terrified will consume him too. The last thing he needs is a sexy, blonde addiction counselor watching his every move. When he begins to see specters in the dark, he starts questioning his own stability.

But Laura sees her too—a pathetic child-spirit searching for her father. Can they unravel the mysteries of Talcott Hall without jeopardizing their love—and lives—in the process?

About Claire Gem (Boston, Massachusetts Author)

Claire Gem

Claire Gem lives in Webster, MA and is the author of a memoir and four novels. She began her career writing feature articles for magazines, and earned her MFA in creative writing from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. Her memoir and debut novel were released in early 2015 by two different small publishers. This year she has published three more novels--a contemporary romance, a romantic suspense, and a women's fiction. Her romantic suspense, Hearts Unloched, won the 2016 New York Book Festival.

Claire's vision is to transport her readers into another place and time, creating characters and settings so real, readers miss them when they reach The End. Her characters are human, just like you & me. They make mistakes, get clumsy sometimes, & are not too proud to laugh at themselves & each other.

The keyword here is EMOTION. Big on the Sigh factor, Claire's stories aim to hit you straight in the heart and leave you smiling through happy tears.
