Haunted Hearts

Love can linger in the unlikeliest of places-on bridges and moors, in old hotels and hidden laboratories, and in the spaces between the living and the dead. This collection brings together romantic and paranormal tales where hearts merge with the uncanny. A Parisian bridge worker in 'Broken Locks, Broken Hearts' finds that cutting love-locks carries an emotional cost, an island holiday in 'Plenty More Fish in the Sea' offers a sunlit romance that isn't quite what it seems, and a telepath makes assumptions about love in 'What She Wants'. Elsewhere, old legends stir in 'Kitsune's Tale', and vampires, gargoyles, and other not-quite-humans brush up against ordinary lives. Tender, eerie, and occasionally darkly funny, these stories explore the moment love steps over the threshold into the supernatural.
