Sixth sample chapter from Enchanted Holidays - Valentine's Day - HAUNTED HEARTS by Kim Cox Chapter One "How do you like it?" Lucy Ann Malloy, standing at the top of the stairs, turned to the right, then to the left as she modeled the blue and green pastel dress. "I found it in the attic with some of my old things." She lingered in the doorway on the main floor. "Well?" Lana Malloy glanced up from editing the ad for her new PI business. "Nice," she said and returned to her work. Lucy moved to Lana's side and gazed over her shoulder. "What are you working on?" "The ad for the newspaper and magazines.

When Holly Purcell, my friend since childhood, asked me to accompany her to the remote New Hampshire property her grandmother had willed her, I'd expected a quaint little holiday cottage.
