Mystery | Paranormal

Pat Montello would never spend Christmas away from her huge clan if she didn't think her boyfriend Hugh lee was "Mr. right." A weekend in Williamsburg, Virginia, with Hugh's family should be fun, right? Beset with inexplicable aches, anxiety attacks, and invisible kisses under the mistletoe, Pat realizes Hugh's mom's old house is haunted. Hiding embarrassing bouts with spirits from her potential in-laws transforms Pat's holiday into a crazed damage control mission. Finding refuge in Williamsburg's post-revolution past, Pat uncovers a two- centuries-old mystery . . . and it seems murder may be on the horizon in the present, as well.
