Sidelined Afterlife
by
Joya Fields
A contemporary romance with a ghostly twist.
Psychic and medium Veronica Matthews
hates being able to communicate with the dead and the nearly departed. What good is it if she can’t lead the police
to the victims of violent crimes before they die? But when her neighbor comes
to her for help, she’s torn—until she understands that the ghost haunting him
is more dangerous than any she’s encountered….
After losing his wife in a tragic
accident, ER doctor Hunter Anderson’s only solace is his work and a ghost is
jeopardizing that. Turning to his neighbor seems like his only choice, but
spending time with the passionate woman, and her sassy attitude, might do more
than save his life…
She can’t risk her heart. He’s
afraid to love and lose again. Can a ghost help these two souls to live again?
Excerpt:
“I am an idiot. The biggest idiot ever. If
you want me to pierce something for you, to prove I’m an idiot, I have some
sterilized instruments upstairs in my apartment.”
Her tongue poked against her cheek,
signaling a laugh that wanted to erupt. Suddenly, he really wanted to be the
one who could make her laugh. “Maybe I could do your lower lip?”
Her short laugh erupted. A sweet, melodic
sound that filled the small apartment.
His gaze stayed on that full mouth and he
lifted his fingers closer, compelled to touch her. She stared at him with wide eyes as he
traced the corner of her mouth lightly with his finger.
“I’m a liar. I could never tarnish something
as beautiful as this.”
Christ. What a line. Where had those words come from? But he meant it.
Her breath was hot against his finger as he
traced the line of her lower lip. Her gaze held his. His stomach growled again,
breaking the spell, and she blinked and leaned against the sofa.
“You know what? We never had dessert,” she
said.
He had room for dessert. But not
the food kind. He swallowed to quell his appetite for her. “Uh…how about I
make an ice cream run? Then we’ll get to work.” Enough of this temptation. He
needed to get away from her, from this pull she had on his body and emotions.
