    About this ebook

    Walk the ghostly world. Howl at the moon.

     

    Jess Whittlebury purchases Tavistock Manor to convert into a quaint English bed and breakfast, but the manor comes with a resident—a werewolf ghost who steps right into her dreams, investing them with erotic toe-tingling pleasures, laughter and passion. Jess doesn't believe in supernatural creatures but her dreams are certainly memorable and very realistic—and she's decided to enjoy them for all she's worth.

     

    Alone Brandon Lupinus until need forces you to act, as a decent man should.

     

    Since the day a witch cursed him, Brandon Lupinus has walked alone, tied to Tavistock, his ancestral home. Jess's arrival brings unexpected changes—corporeal changes. For the first time in centuries Brandon experiences passionate, unbridled sex that ignites his ghostly world with new possibilities. New problems. Brandon is no longer alone but he still can't seem to break his curse and offer Jess the future she deserves. Until fate steps forward in an unexpected way…

      Since the day a witch cursed him, Brandon Lupinus has walked alone, tied to Tavistock, his ancestral home. Jess’s arrival brings unexpected changes—corporeal changes. For the first time in centuries Brandon experiences passionate, unbridled sex that ignites his ghostly world with new possibilities. New problems. Brandon is no longer alone but he still can’t seem to break his curse and offer Jess the future she deserves. Until fate steps in in an unexpected way…

      Chapter One

      You’re the new owner of Tavistock Manor. The elderly lady who approached Jess’s table carried a cane and appeared frail, but her eyes were full of curious intelligence.

      Jess Whittlebury held back a smile, aware she’d been under observation from the moment she’d strolled the cobblestone street with its quaint bow-window shops and entered the Brass Kettle Tea Shop. She’d made a silent bet with herself as to how long it would take one of the elderly women to approach. Jess set her teacup down in the duck-egg-blue china saucer. She leaned back in her wooden chair and nodded at the woman across the vase of fresh flowers. Yes, I’m Jess Whittlebury.

      I hear you’re turning the manor into a bed and breakfast, the tiny gray-haired woman said.

      In her peripheral vision Jess noticed the other women craning their necks, ears practically flapping with eagerness to hear the conversation.

      That’s right, Jess said, and to appease their curiosity she added, I fell in love with the manor when I drove up the winding road and glimpsed it amongst the oak trees. The medieval church and narrow streets of the village remind me of the town where I grew up in Yorkshire. I’ve purchased my own slice of heaven.

      The lady leaned closer in a confidential manner. You know it’s haunted.

      Her audience seemed to hold a collective breath. Jess stifled her amusement. The real estate agent had informed her of the manor’s extra resident, but that only increased the potential for her bed and breakfast. American tourists loved history, and a spooky ghost story added pounds onto her investment.

      I’ve heard.

      The ghost is real. On a clear night you can hear him howling.

      The werewolf, Jess said. I wonder why he howls in that manner.

      The elderly woman snorted. Romantics say he pines for his true love. I think he’s tired of being alone. You should watch yourself, Miss Jess. Our local legends are full of werewolf tales. There’s always an element of truth in myth and legend.

      Another woman ambled up to Jess’s table, slow because of the excess weight she carried. These days it’s not safe for a body to live or walk alone. Megan Dean, the schoolmaster’s daughter was attacked and robbed last week. They say if the landscaper hadn’t driven past and scared them off, it could have been much worse.

      Tish-tosh, the first lady said in a chiding manner. Don’t scare Miss Jess. I’m sure her bed and breakfast will provide lots of visitors to the village. Besides, a ghost werewolf is better than an alarm or guard dog.

      True enough, Hilda. The second lady nodded. It’s good to have new blood. We don’t want our village to die like Martindale. They are overrun with ethnic restaurants and shops offering cheap imports from overseas. Martindale has lost its character.

      Jess smiled and picked up the china teapot to refresh her cup. She added another slice of lemon and took a sip. Talk of ghosts didn’t dampen her excitement. Jess Whittlebury was in pursuit of a dream. A little physical work to tame the overgrown garden and some repairs and remodeling inside was all the property required. Thanks to her father and brother, she had the skills to complete most of the work on her own. In about three months she’d open for the start of the summer season, and she couldn’t be happier.

      * * * * *

      Jess worked in the garden for most of the afternoon, rescuing roses from suffocation. A cool breeze lashed her cheeks and tugged at her heavy coat but she continued yanking the weeds and digging out clumps of grass that choked the original garden beds. With winter still grasping the countryside, she needed to take advantage of days where it didn’t rain or, worse, snow. Luckily, the winter had been mild and the snow had disappeared over a month ago. She hoped the mild weather continued.

      Finally when it was too dark to see more than her hand in front of her face, she
