Revenge of the Hungry Ghost

A murdered fiancé. A ghostly warning. And a deadly conspiracy buried in ancient gold dust.

The police called her fiancé’s death a suicide. Paige Gold never believed it and nearly lost everything proving she was right. Now, during the Hungry Ghost Festival, his spirit returns with a warning that drags her back into the conspiracy that killed him: stolen gold, secret Taoist alchemy, and an elixir of immortality forged for China's First Emperor.

Someone will kill to keep the secret buried, and as the danger closes in, so does David, the manPaige once walked away from and can't stop wanting now.

Perfect for fans of supernatural thrillers, crime fiction with a twist, and strong heroines who won’t quit.
