Beyond Midnight — Antoinette Stockenberg

IN A SMALL TOWN WITH A DARK PAST...

No one believes in ghosts anymore, not even in Salem, Massachusetts. And especially not sensible Helen Evett, a widow who lives for her two teenaged kids and who runs the best preschool in town. But when little Katie Byrne enters her school, strange things begin to happen. Katie's widowed father, Nat, begins to awaken feelings in Helen that she had counted as dead. But why does Helen have such odd dreams of Linda Byrne, Nat's dead wife? And why does she keep catching the scent of Lindas perfume? Why does Helen get the feeling that Linda is reaching beyond the grave to tell her something?

... DOES LOVE HAVE A GHOST OF A CHANCE?

As Helen and Nat each explore the pain of their losses and the joy of their newfound love, Linda Byrne's ghost I plays a bold hand, beseeching Helen to uncover the mystery of her death. But what Helen finds could make her the target of a jealous killer and a modern Salem witch-hunt that threatens her, her family... and the magical second-time-around love that's taking her and Nat by storm.
