Today, HJ is pleased to share with you Claire Kann’s new release: Looking For Love in All the Haunted Places
Love brings down the haunted house in this captivating romance from the acclaimed author of The Romantic Agenda.
Lucky Hart has a special affinity for the supernatural but almost no one takes parapsychology seriously. She’s estranged from her family, lost her friends, and has been rejected from graduate school. Twice. But her big break finally arrives when she gets insider info about a troubled production company. Every actor on their new show mysteriously quits after spending three nights inside Hennessee House, an old Victorian with a notorious reputation.
After scheming her way onto the show to investigate, Lucky meets Maverick Phillips and chemistry instantly crackles between them. He tempts her in ways no one ever has, challenging and supporting her, and making her finally feel seen. Their connection is so palpable everyone notices it–including Hennessee House.
Now Lucky and Maverick’s relationship has a challenger: the lonely, sentient house desperate for her undivided attention. As love begins to clash with career, Lucky refuses to choose one over the other because everyone deserves a happily ever after, even houses with haunted hearts. But when all her plans begin backfiring one-by-one, she realizes that if she wants to have it all? She’ll have to risk everything.
Enjoy an exclusive excerpt from Looking For Love in All the Haunted Places
“Hello?”
“Hi, Lucky? It’s Maverick.”
She sat bolt upright instantly, stomach somersaulting into oblivion. “Oh. Hi.”
He laughed, a husky and amused staccato chuckle. “You sound disappointed.”
“I’m not. It’s a defense mechanism. Can’t be let down if your hopes are never up,” she answered without thinking and squeezed her eyes shut in regret. “Sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.”
“No, that’s fine and smart. Although, I don’t know if I could live like that. For me, having hope makes life worth living.”
She smiled, lowering her head as if she wanted to hide the sudden burst of expression. Unexpectedly, though, her brain betrayed her by deciding to answer his honesty with nihilism. “The only thing that makes life worth living is the fact that I’m not dead. It’s like I’m being forced to survive.” He laughed again, softer that time. “I definitely have questions about that, but I think I’ll save them for tomorrow’s interview.”
“Will you really be here at sunrise?”
“That’s the deal. How are you settling in? Still nervous?”
“All settled and tucked into bed. The house hasn’t gobbled me up yet.”
“I told you nothing happens on the first night.”
She glanced at the mason jar. “You sure about that?”
“Did something happen? Wait, no, you can’t tell me. I shouldn’t even be calling you right now.”
“Then why did you?”
“Honestly?” He exhaled into a sigh. “I was . . . worried.”
“You . . . you were worried about me?” After three hopeful beats of silence, common sense kicked in. He didn’t mean that personally. “Oh, because I’m number four, right? I know my predecessors didn’t last long.”
“No,” he said matter-of-factly. No room for anything else. “I didn’t call them. I didn’t even think to. Earlier, you sounded a little panicked and I honestly haven’t stopped thinking about it.”
