A cop with nothing left to lose. A man trapped between life and death. And a mob of angry locals who have it out for both of them. Douglas Blythe’s old money supports his hobby of sardonic manipulation of the fates of others. His spooky Victorian home adds to his mystique by supporting local suspicions. When his antagonists attack and leave him in a coma, he’s stuck: invisible, untethered, and infuriatingly dependent on the one person in Mill Spring least inclined to take orders from a ghost. Dawn Henson is the respected town cop until she stands up for Blythe. Now the town turns on her. She loses her badge, her income, and the support of her family. What’s the worst thing she could do? Move into the Blythe mansion to care for the man everybody hates. But Douglas can communicate with her, he can see what the living can't, and he needs her as much as she needs him. Even if neither of them will admit it. As they work to expose the man who masterminded the attack — whose reach extends further than either of them expected — something else is growing between them. Something complicated. Something that probably shouldn't exist between a woman and her employer, a man who may never wake up. Phantom Forensics is the thrilling first book in a paranormal romantic suspense series. With its spooky Victorian setting and compelling characters, this book will appeal to fans of Heather Graham and HD Carlton. In following books, Dawn and Douglas use his unique invisibility to investigate crimes no one else can solve — and navigate a relationship no one could have predicted. Fans of Heather Graham, HD Carlton, and Maggie March will find themselves at home in Mill Spring.
