Whispering Bay # 1

Blurb
Allie Grant doesn’t believe in second chances. She
does, however, believe in the power of a permanent paycheck. So when a tipster
reports that the soon-to-be demolished senior center in her hometown is
haunted, Allie hightails it to Whispering Bay to get the scoop that could
secure her dream job at Florida! magazine. What she finds, though, is far
scarier than any ghost. Cue her ex-boyfriend, sexy construction foreman Tom
Donalan.
When Tom catches Allie poking around his construction
site, he quickly realizes his former high school flame is just as feisty as
ever. And, heaven help him, her irresistible, mile-high legs still take his
breath away. But Tom isn’t about to delay the building’s demolition because of
a silly ghost story.
With neither of the stubborn exes backing down from
their opposing positions, sparks fly. And, underneath the surface, the fire of
their old attraction burns as hot as ever. When strange things start happening
with increasing frequency around town, even a tough skeptic like Tom is tested.
The question is, can Allie and Tom stop fighting long enough to get to the
bottom of Whispering Bay’s ghost problem—and the more important matter of
mending their broken hearts?

“12 Things About Maria Geraci”
1. When I was four years
old, a squirrel swooped down onto my family’s picnic table and stole my
McDonald’s hamburger. I have hated the little rats ever since. And yes, I hold
a grudge.
2. My first kiss was
while playing Spin the Bottle at an 8th grade graduation party.
That counts, right?
3. My favorite Jane
Austen romance is Persuasion. I adore Captain Wentworth and the
beautiful love letter he sends to Anne at the end of the novel.
4. I am a huge Survivor
fan, although I know I wouldn’t last one day on the island without begging to
be voted off!
5. I am terrified of
bridges. When I was a little girl my mother used to pay me a penny anytime we
had to go over one. Later in life, this went up to a nickel.
6. I hate mayonnaise. No
need to expound on that.
7. My favorite comfort
food is a toss-up between ropa vieja and fried grouper with
cheese grits.
8. I am most comfortable
wearing either flip flops or sneakers. Unlike a lot of women, the number of
shoes I own would be in the single digit category.
9. My idea of a great
date would be dinner at a quiet restaurant followed by a couple of hours in a
book store, then coffee and dessert (key lime pie or cheese cake).
10.I have to eat some
chocolate every day.
11.When I started
writing, I wrote in my husband’s walk in closet. I converted it into an
“office” because there wasn’t any other room in the house where I could get any
privacy!
12.I have
“accidentally” delivered more babies than I can count (in my other life I’m a
labor and delivery nurse!).
