Night of the Dark Horse (An Allegra Fairweather Mystery)
Page 19
Casper was a fast learner. The second time was better. The third time—whoa baby! Even the tide got into the act, rushing in and doing that whole From Here to Eternity thing.
At last we got dressed. Moonlight ensured that there were no stubbed toes on the way back to my place.
“Do you think you’ll like living here?” I asked as we wandered onto my patio and stood looking at the midnight seascape.
“Very much.” He stood behind me, wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled my neck. “It’s been a long journey, but I’m here at last.”
“What? You’ve always wanted to live in Hawaii?”
“I mean that it took me two thousand years to earn enough credit points to get—” his arms tightened around me, “—here.”
Leaning against him, on a balmy night with the deep blue Pacific spread out before us, I knew he was right. This was Heaven.

Allegra Fairweather: Paranormal Investigator
Allegra Fairweather here. Paranormal investigator. Got problems with specters? Shapeshifters? I’m the woman to call. Just don’t call me a Ghostbuster. The last guy who did that ended up flat on his back with my boot at his throat. With my 99.5% success rate, solving the mystery of a bleeding rose that has sprung up on the shores of Loch Furness should have been an easy gig. But already I’ve heard the shriek of the local banshee, discovered two bodies (and then lost two bodies), and had a near-death encounter with a three-hundred-year-old ghost...
South of Salem
My mother thinks my job is crazy. I’m a paranormal investigator; she’s Nancy Reagan crossed with Martha Stewart. But this time Mom needs my special skills. She believes my stepfather is possessed. I admit he’s not his usual dapper, charming self, but sleepwalking doesn’t sound that weird. Until the sleepwalking spreads through the family and cousin Donna walks right out of her apartment window to her death. Then my sister goes missing and I have to find her and solve the mystery before Lily and her unborn child are harmed.
Dance of Flames
Family vacations fill me with horror—and for a woman who makes her living as a paranormal investigator, that’s saying a lot. But it’s true what they say, there’s no rest for the wicked. We’d barely unpacked when the maid started having dreams of being tortured on the rack—dreams my intuition tells me are something more than your average terrifying nightmare. So for now my dance partner’s going to have to wait for me to get to the bottom of this mystery, and when I do, I plan to send evil packing.
Island of Secrets
I’m a paranormal investigator without a home of my own. So when a wealthy client offers me a lucrative job on a private South Pacific island, I jump at the opportunity. It’s not all fun in the sun, though. My investigation reveals a century-old war between the mers and a goblin tribe, who believe the mers stole their treasure. But the real thief was a pirate! He buried the treasure and died before digging it up again. Oh, and I’m not the only one searching for this treasure...
