The Dead Room (Harrison Investigations #5)
by Heather GrahamA year ago, archaeologist Leslie MacIntyre barely survived an explosion that took the life of her fiance, Matt Connolly. Since then she's slowly come to terms with both her loss and an unsettling ability to communicate with ghosts, a "gift" received in the wake of her brush with death. Now she's returned to lower Manhattan, site of the explosion, to investigate a newly discovered burial ground. In this place restless spirits hold the secrets not only of past injustice but of a deadly conspiracy against the city's women--including Leslie herself. By night Matt visits her in dreams, warning her and offering clues to the truth. By day she finds herself helped by--and attracted to--his flesh-and-blood cousin Joe. Torn by her feelings for both men, caught between the worlds of the living and the dead, Leslie struggles against the encroaching danger. As she is drawn closer to the darkness, she must ultimately face the power of an evil mind, alone in a place where not even the men she loves can save her.

The Deadliest Denial
by Colleen ThompsonWHATEVER IT TAKES "Go ahead and take the pistol," Spence told Claire. "Hold it if you want to, or slip it in your pocket. Do whatever it takes so you'll feel safe enough to listen to me." "Spence," she breathed, as jumbled waves of emotion crashed into each other. Terror, love, regret...and beneath them all, a sickening awareness of the heavy scent of blood. "Do it, please." Fatigue underscored his blue eyes, but still, they looked straight at her. "Because that's all I ask, for you to listen." Trembling with revulsion, she picked up the weapon by its still-warm barrel, then dropped it into her pocket as quickly as if she were holding a live coal. Even so, she felt some of her equilibrium returning. She met his gaze head-on. "Give me one reason why I should."
