Book excerpt: "Don't be afraid of her," old Jim Peterson softly said to Nick Jennings from his room in the nursing home. "She's just waiting for me." Nick has just purchased the Peterson property, a secluded cabin tucked into the Midwest farming landscape, to complete his novel and repair his betrayed heart. Soon after he moves in, Nick discovers that he is sharing his house with the light spirit of Molly Ross, Jim Peterson's lover who died in a car accident over thirty years ago. She lingers, waiting for Jim to join her in death. Love's Sweet Haunting follows Nick as he settles into his haunted haven and resists falling in love again. The depth of Molly and Jim's love is revealed by way of flashbacks induced by unexplained happenings in the house. The heart-wrenching climax confirms that love endures beyond the grave.
