All her life, Sophy Harper has heard about the feud her family has with the Wells family. So when she discovers that her Aunt Bea has been having a love affair with Deke Wells, and now they’re both missing, she’s more than a little shocked. Using her psychic abilities to determine that a murder had occurred at her aunt’s house, Sophy finds herself teaming up with a Wells and his hellhound to uncover the mysteries of the past and to discover what happened to their family members.
Known as No-Talent Wells, Luke Wells is slated to take over as CEO in his family’s company since that’s where it seems his talents lie. With so many family secrets to protect, teaming up with Sophy seems the best way to ensure they never get out. They soon find themselves following a trail that leads them to a weird desert art colony. As the hunt for their missing relatives gets stranger and stranger, Luke and Sophy find their attraction burning brighter. When it becomes apparent that someone is out to get Sophy, Luke will do everything he can to not only keep the family secrets safe but Sophy as well.

THE SHOP ON HIDDEN LANE is another intriguing paranormal romantic mystery that will keep you coming back to the author again and again.
