title: Once Upon a Gothic
author: Dean, Alicia
description: Lady in the Mist: When Lily Jackson takes a job in Shoal Harbor, Maine as caregiver to an emotionally disturbed young man, she soon learns that his older brother--the brooding, mysterious Clinton Breckenridge--does not want her there. Rumors abound among the locals that the eerie moans heard across the water are the cries of unfortunate women who made the mistake of becoming involved with Breckenridge men. Now in danger herself, Lily must use her wits to solve the mystery before she suffers the same fate. Haunting at Spook Light Inn: Paranormal debunker Camille Burditt arrives at the Spook Light Inn in Oklahoma to research a supernatural phenomenon for her latest book. There she encounters the spirit of a woman whose 'accidental' death was actually a murder. Declan Rush--the inhospitable, reclusive owner of the inn--is linked to the deceased woman, but he is less than forthcoming and, despite her growing attraction to him, Camille suspects his connection to the spirit might be that of killer to victim. When another suspicious death occurs, Camille is desperate to discover if the man she's falling for is a murderer.
