The inn at Half Moon Bay

by Diane Tyrrel

Evoking classic gothic romances with her enthralling and sexy storytelling, the author of On Winding Hill Road and On the Edge of the Woods brings new heights of suspense to a tale of secret desires and hidden truths. Sprawled across a bluff overlooking the sea, The Magic Mermaid Inn embodied the simplicity and ambiance of times past. Cozy and inviting, the Queen Anne farmhouse and its surrounding cottages enchanted Kelly Redvers into purchasing the property, in spite of her better judgment. But when Kelly finds herself besieged by bizarre, unsettling events, it becomes clear that someone has developed an unhealthy obsession with her-an obsession tied to the inn's ominous past.
