Description:
Paranormal investigator Sullivan Wilde and clairvoyant Olivia Emerson make it back to New York without killing one another, and are now joined at the hip for better or for worse. Back home again, Sullivan’s deep ingrained inability to make a commitment causes friction between them, almost driving Olivia to the breaking point. Sullivan’s young daughter Sabrina offers invaluable insights, while Olivia struggles to make their relationship work.
Fellow investigators Kelly and Hudson Hayze, a brother and sister duo, along with their producer Arnav Bhandari, make up the rest of the Soul Scavengers family. The team members are excited to meet Olivia, and make no apologies for torturing their cranky colleague over the sins of his past, latching onto his obvious attraction to the fresh-faced clairvoyant.
When the Soul Scavengers team find themselves called to a mysterious mansion in rural Illinois, they get a little more than they bargained for. Ghostly giggles, squeaky, bouncing beds, clinking champagne glasses and whispers of sweet nothings make it difficult for the team to concentrate, let alone proceed with their investigation. A hundred twenty-five year old love triangle threatens to expose a long-forgotten secret when the ghost of a heartbroken young paramour attempts to shed light on the mansion’s dark history.
Psychic medium Olivia Emerson is young, gutsy, and out to prove she’s got what it takes to hang with the big boys. Although haunted by a past that threatens to consume her, Olivia accepts a job on a snow covered island that could make or break her career. She just needs to keep her past where it belongs- behind her. She knows this job could be her foot in the door, and hopefully the vehicle she needs to break into the business and take the next step up. The only problem; she’ll be working with him.
Paranormal investigator Sullivan Wilde has a healthy dislike for anyone claiming to hear or communicate with spirits. To him, they’re all frauds. He learned firsthand that just because you want to believe, doesn't make it real.
When Sullivan’s forced to work with Olivia, he’s not happy about it. She exasperates him, pushes his buttons, and doesn't have a shut off valve for that mouth of hers. He doesn't believe in her ‘gift’, and makes no apologies for it. Yet, as much as he tries to deny it, there’s something about Olivia that gets under his skin. The moment they’re left alone on the dock of the island, devoid of living inhabitants, everything changes. Some unhappy spirits, coupled with Olivia and Sullivan’s burgeoning feelings for one another leave them with no choice but to rely on one another if they want to make it through the night. Can Sullivan and Olivia put their differences aside in order to finish the job and walk out alive?
EXCERPT
Olivia shook his hand. “I’m happy to meet you Arnie. Thank you again for giving me a chance to work with you and everyone here on the show. You have no idea how much I appreciate that.”
“Don’t thank me.” Arnav cast a playful, knowing eye over to Sullivan. “Thank Sully. He’s the one who agreed to work with a medium and not leave her tied up and gagged in the frozen tundra this time. I made him promise to be nice to you, baby girl.”
“Really? I would never have guessed Sullivan had a problem with mediums!” Olivia replied with a healthy amount of sarcasm, and folded her arms over her chest. “Arnie, the man is lucky he’s able to walk. I wanted to gut him within thirty seconds of him opening his mouth, and many, many times after that.”
“He was nice to you, wasn’t he? If he was a tyrannical brute, you can tell me and I’ll have him punished, flogged, or put on the rack, or something of that flavour, dear.”
Olivia couldn’t help the giggle. “He behaved. After I threatened to turn him into a toad.”
“He’s already a toad.” Hudson broke in, rolling his eyes. “A horny toad.”
Sullivan groaned his displeasure. “You people are ridiculous,” he muttered, shaking his head. Olivia gave him a gentle elbow to remind Sullivan of his manners.
“Be that at it may, I’m glad you survived the week with our delightful Mister Wilde.” Arnav winked at her. “I know how you feel, sweet pea. The old fella’s got a bit of a temper, and he has this undeniable way with people, doesn’t he?” He gave Sullivan a good-natured slap on the shoulder. “He’s a real people person. A gem of a guy! Underneath all that bluster and self- exaggerated hype, Sully’s one of the nicest guys I know. He’d give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. My guess is there’s no end to his generous nature. There really is a sensitive human being there, no matter how many layers of rock-solid bastard he hides it under.”

I'm Lisagh, and I've been writing since I was a kid. My imagination knows no bounds, I've been told. I wasn't sure that was a good thing or not at the time. Turns out, it WAS a good thing.
I grew up in and around Vancouver, Canada, and have a fetish for snow. Winter is my season. Being born in the dead of it has something to do with that, I figure.

No I never had an experience with a ghost.
Thanks for the chance!
It was about 2am... I just got done emptying the dishwasher... about 2:30-3am I am watching tv and here one of the cupboard doors open in the kitchen. I am totally freaked out right now, my husband is at work, kids are sleeping... but I have to check it out. One cupboard is open by the fridge and I know I closed it after putting clean bottles in it. Found out two days later that the older gentleman that lived in that house most of his life with his family passed away around 2am-3am. I also found out that the cupboard that I found open was the one he kept his cookies in.
No i can't say i have ever seen or had any kind of ghost encounter other then in books or goofing off as a kid. thank you for the giveaway
Thanks God I've never had such experience - I prefer ghosts to stay just on books and imagination!
