Shades of Scarlet - The Shades Trilogy Linda Winstead Jones

A haunted plantation house, a decades old mystery . . . and a surprise for Lucien and Eve

Married at last, Eve and Lucien Thorpe's life together is very near ideal. They continue to work as a team, eliminating unwanted ghosts from haunted houses, and their love remains strong. Eve is convinced that all she needs in order to be truly happy is a baby.

When they're called to Glover Manor to clear it of ghosts for the new owners, Lucien and Eve get much more than they'd bargained for. The ghosts of twin sisters traumatized by war not only haunt the mansion where they were born and raised, they hold other unhappy ghosts there as well. And when O'Hara arrives to assist with the job, he brings along an unexpected guest who threatens to turn the Thorpes' lives upside down.

Confronted once more with unbearable darkness, Lucien questions whether or not he wants to create a child who might have his gift. And Eve is drawn dangerously close to the spirit world by a lonely little boy who calls her Mama.
