The town of Diablo Springs has always had a sense of being
not quite right. Gracie Beck could never put her finger on
what was so unsavory about her hometown, but she knows she
never wants to go back. Gracie left Diablo Springs under a
cloud of shame and betrayal when her grandmother sent her
away.
Now, 16 years later, Gracie is being called back to Diablo
Springs when her daughter, Analise, is in an accident
there. Shocked at how her daughter even found Diablo
Springs, Gracie rushes to her hometown, only to be met head-
on by the sudden death of her grandmother and the
unexpected return of her lost love.
Reilly Alexander escaped Diablo Springs and made a name for
himself. Once the lead singer and songwriter of a rock
band, Reilly is now a bestselling fiction novelist. He
spends his time traveling from city to city promoting his
books and hasn't returned to Diablo Springs, even when his
brother died. Then Reilly meets a stranger at a
booksigning, and while he doesn't believe her claims of
ESP, the psychic does have more information about him then
she should. When she tells Reilly that Gracie's grandmother
has died, he lets her talk him into accompanying her and
her strange friends to Diablo Springs.
When Gracie and Reilly meet again for the first time in 16
years, all the old anger and all the old passion are quick
to return. But when Reilly's strange psychic companion
starts talking about ghosts and curses, they find they have
more troublesome things to deal with first.
Laced through the story of Gracie and Reilly is the story
of Gracie's grandmother and how she came to be in Diablo
Springs. Ella Beck saw her family murdered in cold blood,
and then was taken in by a band of traveling prostitutes.
The story of her journey to Diablo Springs reveals the
source of the curse on Gracie's family. Doomed to never
know a man's true love, the women in this family have all
known great love only to have it brutally ripped from their
grasp as soon as it's found. Now, in order to experience
her own great love and protect her daughter's future,
Gracie has to figure out how to break the curse.
A chilling tale of ghosts and curses, WHISPERS immediately
pulls you in and won't let you go until the very last page.
The twists and turns will keep you guessing in this must-
read romantic suspense -- perfect for a rainy weekend.
If you listen hard enough...
Diablo Springs--once a boomtown of gamblers, outlaws and
miners. Now a place where shifting sands whisper only of
torment and loss...a place where shadows lure the
unsuspecting into its abyss.
It is where Gracie Beck was raised, but she never called it
home. When she left that place, she never looked back...
You will hear their whispered warnings...
Now Gracie finds she’s inherited the Diablo Springs Hotel
from her grandmother and, with it, a curse that has haunted
her family for over a hundred years. As she begins to
unearth long-buried secrets, she unleashes a force that
threatens everyone she cares about. And when the one man
she has tried to forget unexpectedly returns to Diablo
Springs to find inspiration for his next novel, Gracie
knows that a dark and desperate chapter in the story of her
family must finally be written...
From Affaire de Coeur "The history of the Beck women and of Diablo Springs is
spun through past and present by a master weaver of
paranormal and romantic tales. Erin Grady?s narrative is
superb and her characters are terrific. Whispers is
steeped in atmosphere, emotions, and a fantastic storyline.
This is one knock-out book and comes highly
recommended."
Marilyn Weigel, April 2006, Romantic
Times BOOKclub
"As [the] story unfolds, a parallel tale,
which took place in the 1890s and has significant relevance
to the present, is told as well. These two narrative strands
are woven together skillfully and, once united, lead to the
story's suspenseful climax and to the dramatic resolution of
both plots.
Grady is an author to watch. Her beautifully descriptive
prose, masterful characterization and tightly knit story
structure will make readers happy to follow her wherever she
leads."
