Description
A supernatural romance can make impossible things possible.
Baldwin Bay is the ideal place to spend a summer vacation...unless you're trapped inside a creepy, abandoned boathouse. Finding herself in this predicament, Destiny Sinclair is desperate to escape. Just when she thinks things can't get any worse, a poisonous snake slithers up her leg. At that moment, an unlikely hero appears. Matthew Darlowe, a handsome ghost who died in 1927, quickly dispatches the reptile. He then frees Destiny from the boathouse and over the following summers, the two become the best of friends...and more.
When Destiny learns the details of Matthew's demise, she becomes obsessed with the notion of traveling back to the Jazz Age to warn him of his impending death. But saving Matthew is not going to be easy. If the villains realize Destiny has knowledge of their foul plans, they might dispose of her, too.
Can she save the man she loves from an unspeakable fate? Or is Mapleton Manor's dark history doomed to repeat itself?

Person
Ellen Newth wrote her first "book" at the age of four. The story was executed in crayon because, at the time, her spelling skills were rather limited. She grew up in Swampscott, Massachusetts (next to the "witchy" town of Salem) and her summers were spent on Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Always intrigued by supernatural phenomena, Ellen studied at the Shin Psychic Center in Boston. Eventually, she relocated to New York City where she experienced her first paranormal encounter. She graduated from Fordham University, College at Lincoln Center with a B.S. in English/Theatre and went on to study acting at the famous HB Studio in Greenwich Village. Never a fan of ice and snow, she now resides in sunny Los Angeles with her rescue dog - a little white Chihuahua named Daisy.
