***Received from Entangled Publishing for an honest review***(This is a short story/novella. This review is not based on story length but story content as length has very little to do with how much I enjoy a book.)Katie is lost between our world and the next, unable to go on because of her obsession with looking for her lost wedding band. Seamus has already gone into the next world and anxiously awaits his bride, but she can neither see nor hear him. The sea separated them in life. Her single-minded obsession separates them in death. It will take a team of paranormal investigators and one tag-along reporter to bring them together and give them the happy ending they've waited so long for.Arabella sees dead people. Lucas is a skeptical reporter. Burned by skeptics before, Arabella is less than enthusiastic when Lucas tags along with her team to Kingston Cottage, Seamus and Katie's home from long ago, to investigate a potential ghost sighting. It is at Kingston Cottage when Arabella's prejudices against skeptics begins to slip away as she watches Lucas experience her world as he aides her team in their investigation, and it is at the cottage that she realizes her chance at a love like Seamus and Katie's is within reach if she can just let go the past and take a chance.There are two incredibly different but equally heartwarming love stories in this book. I enjoyed watching Arabella and Lucas' relationship form as much as I enjoyed reading about Seamus and Katie's love, loss, heartache, and hope. It was intriguing to see what Arabella would do in light of Lucas' kiss and admission about his interest in the paranormal world, and what Katie would do when confronted with the knowledge that Seamus had been waiting for her all this time.Ms. Bishop's attention to detail is incredible. Everything unseen is "seen" through the use of her words. I felt like it I was there in those moments of Katie's emotional upheaval, like I could feel Seamus and Katie's presence, like I was there watching the storm happen because the wording was done so well. A well-written and well-liked (by me at least) ghostly tale that I hope is only the beginning of many more terrific stories by this author.
