Readers will be able to enjoy another beach read. Not to mention, the romance between Darrell and Erin comes full circle in this third installment.


But I think you’ll find the ghosts in this newest tale the greatest draw. And these are not just any ghosts. This time, Darrell is haunted by the ghosts of two young children and … Well, you’ll need to stay tuned to find out when you’ll be able get your own copy of SCARLET AT CRYSTAL RIVER.
