A haunting in Santa Fe will either reunite Ghost Healers, Inc. or disband the group forever.
When Ellen decides to buy a fixer-upper in an art community in Santa Fe, New Mexico, she’s reassured by the realtor that nothing evil has ever occurred there. What she doesn’t know is that the bridge near the back of the property is notoriously known in the town as Suicide Bridge. As she and her friends try to uncover why so many people have taken their lives there, they are shocked by what they find. Can the reunion of Ghost Healers, Inc. untether the troubling spirits near Ellen’s fixer-upper, or will their discoveries be too much for them this time?

EXCERPT:
“Ready for our hike?” Tanya asked.
“Do pigs fly?” Sue said with a laugh.
“The sooner we do our hike, the sooner we can get on the road to Santa Fe,” Ellen pointed out. “Just think, in five hours, we could be shopping in the plaza.”
“Is that supposed to motivate me? That’s just what I’m looking forward to, more walking.”
“Oh, come on, Sue,” Tanya said. “This will be more of a stroll than a hike. I promise.”
Ellen and her friends put on their walking shoes and then took the trail beside their cabin into the canyon.
Ellen breathed in the cool, morning air. The beauty of the canyon elevated her mood. Some of the stone formations were thick and striated, while other rocks formed mounds of crushed granite. In the distance was a tall formation that reminded Ellen of the sphinx.
“Watch your step,” Tanya said from up front as she stepped over a large rock.
“This feels so good,” Ellen said from where she took up the rear. “I feel like we’re one with nature.”
“And nature is so majestic, isn’t it?” Tanya said. “Doesn’t that big rock look like the tower of a magical castle?”
“I thought it looked more like the sphinx,” Ellen said.
Sue shook her head. “You see a castle and Ellen sees a sphinx. What does it say about me that I see a penis?”
Tanya scoffed. “You know what it says about you.”
“Don’t tell Tom,” Sue warned. “He’ll say my mind is in the gutter.”
“Isn’t it?” Ellen asked.
“Yes, but there’s no need for Tom to know that.”
The three friends chuckled. Ellen realized that if someone had overheard Sue, they might think she was a promiscuous woman who hid her extramarital interests from her husband, but her friends knew she just liked to make people laugh.
Tanya asked, “You think there’s any truth to what that psychic said about there being a shade in Santa Fe? What if there is? What if he confronts us?”
“Oh, Tanya,” Sue said, “you know as well as we do that there are ghosts everywhere. I’m sure there’s more than one shade in Santa Fe.”
“But why would the psychic warn us?” Tanya wanted to know.
“If anyone can handle a confrontation with a ghost, it’s us,” Sue said. “Don’t let fear get in your way of having a good time.”
Ellen heard a shriek as Tanya stopped short.
“Tanya? What are you screaming about?” Ellen asked from the rear.
“That wasn’t me,” Tanya said, backing up. “It was that tarantula. See it?”
On the trail two feet in front of Tanya, a hairy tarantula stood on its hind legs shrieking like a small child. The spider was as big as Ellen’s hand.
“Turn back” Sue said, as she pushed Ellen in the direction from which they’d come. “I’ve had enough of nature for one day.”
“So much for not letting fear get in the way of having a good time,” Ellen teased.
“I can handle just about anything but a hairy spider,” Sue said. “Especially one that screams.”

“You and Taavi
create the distraction,” Alastair said to her. “Fight or kiss—your choice. And
Hestie, you be the thief this time.”
Gertie clenched
her fists. If she screwed this up, it wouldn’t help Hestie’s opinion of her. No
pressure.
She glanced at
the captain, who seemed amused by the pirate training as he enjoyed his beer.
He lifted his
mug and said, “Good luck.”
“When will it
be the captain’s turn?” Gertie asked Taavi.
“Never,”
Prometheus said. “Never, ever, ever will I go by the name of pirate, no matter
the cause. But cheers to you.” He lifted his mug again.
Their group had
moved down the plaza from The Black Pearl to The Galley Bar and Restaurant, so
they could work on new targets without arousing suspicion. Their newest target
was a middle-aged woman sitting alone at a table across the street, where she
sipped from a glass of wine and gazed at the dark, shimmering sea.
Follow my lead,
Taavi said to Gertie with a wink as he took her by the hand.
For a split
second, he reminded her of Jeno.
As they crossed
the street together, Gertie said, “I like your new clothes.”
“Thanks.”
He was wearing
a gray t-shirt with a black leather vest and black jeans.
Taavi stopped
near the deck, not far from where the target was sitting, and stood close to
Gertie. His body was long and lean, and he took Gertie into his arms and gazed
down at her with his golden eyes from beneath dark, thick brows. His dark, wavy
hair blew in the wind. She had her hair tied in a ponytail at the nape of her
neck. When Taavi smiled, a single dimple appeared in his left cheek.
I am going to
kiss you, okay? Then you slap me and call me a terrible name. Pretend you do
not appreciate my advances. He winked again. Of course, you and I know
otherwise.
Gertie
chuckled. This should be fun.
Gingerly, Taavi
caressed her bottom lip with his. Then he pressed his mouth firmly against hers
as he pulled her into a tighter embrace. Gertie lost herself. She hadn’t been
kissed like this, with so much longing and so much hunger, in such a long time.
Part of her knew that Taavi was acting, but another part of her hoped that he
wasn’t.
Still dazed
moments after the kissing had stopped, Gertie looked up at Taavi, bewildered.
Where she had previously been drawn to him by the prospect of his bite, she was
finding herself longing for more.
He grinned. Any
moment now, you can slap me.
“Oh,” she
whispered, snapping out of it.
Remember to be
dramatic, he added.
“Um, okay.”
He lunged for
her again, his mouth covering hers. Her body shivered with pleasure. She didn’t
want it to end.
He pulled away,
laughing. “Gertie! Concentrate!”
She slapped his
cheek so hard that it stung her hand. “Leave me alone!”
Taavi took a
step back, looking shocked by the blow.
“How dare you!”
Gertie added. “You, you…” she couldn’t think of a bad name to call him.
He pulled her
toward him, and she tried to fight him off, but when he pressed his lips
against hers again and circled his arms around her waist, she kissed back.
Before she knew it, she had grabbed fistfuls of his hair.
The others are
watching, he said.
Again, she
snapped out of it and slapped his cheek. She glanced at the target and noticed
the woman was walking away from her table, her purse in hand, and leaving the
bar altogether.
“Did Hestie
have a chance to…”
“No,” Taavi said.
