On the list of things that Gray Graham thought she’d never do is hire a psychic. Her new bookstore on South Padre Island, however, appears to be haunted. Unable to explain why, she’s convinced that the restless ghost is her late partner, Mary. The locals tell her that Angie June is the real deal, though, and she seeks out the young woman but is leery of being conned. Angie is desperate to save her local youth program, and a paying client will really help. There is definitely something off about the bookstore too, and she can sense that the spirit won’t be easy to vanquish. As the days go by she also finds that the ghost isn’t the only reason she’s drawn to the bookstore, but Gray is far more interested in the dead than the living.

Known for her exquisite settings, Nat Burns brings the south Texas world alive as two women confront a haunting secret and their feelings for each other.
