Old secrets, hidden psychics, secret shifters, ghosts, scandals—and true love.
A series of long-ago disappearances leads cold case private detective Austin Williams to investigate a troubled sanitarium. Jamie Miller is new in town, temporarily running the local historical association, and he willingly signs on to help solve Austin’s mystery. Sparks fly between them as they dig into the hospital’s troubled past. But someone wants the past to stay buried—and is willing to bury Austin and Jamie to keep it that way.
Haven is part of the Magic Emporium series. Each book stands alone, but each one features an appearance by Marden’s Magic Emporium, a shop that can appear anywhere, but only once and only when someone’s in dire need. This book contains explicit scenes, action, mystery, hurt/comfort, geeks in love, supernatural secrets, a brave historian and a lovelorn private detective, plus a guaranteed HEA. It is loosely connected to my Fox Hollow series.
Available at Amazon.

This book is the final book in the collection of stories in the Magic Emporium
universe. The mystery in this book is one of the strongest in this series. The
combination of the sanitarium and the town combined to create a very strong
tension that carries throughout the book. This book contains cameos of the
author’s previous series. I had not read any of these prior to this one and did not
feel that I was missing out on this book at all. I may be downloading some of
these books for future reading based on this one.
The romance was hot, and while it happened quickly, the respective pasts and
special skills of our main characters, Austin and Jamie, made it make sense in
the pacing of the book. This has been such a great series of stand alone books.
The ability to pick up any of them and enjoy an amazing paranormal story, with
so many different approaches, has been a fantastic adventure. This final book is
no exception.
