toward the family cemetery in back.
Abby looked at Malachi with amusement. “I think he approved of me. It took him long enough to decide.”
“Zachary? Ah, yes, he can be difficult to impress, but he does seem bewitched,” Malachi said. “With you.”
“Well, I’m grateful he does approve.”
He lifted her chin and kissed her lips. “What matters more is that you approve of me,” he told her.
She clasped his hand. “I’m wide-awake. If you want to follow me upstairs, I can tell you all about my approval. Or, rather, I can show you.” She grew serious. “These moments, this time...all precious, I think.”
“Very precious. We have to value such precious moments,” he said. “They define our lives.” He kissed her again and they started up the stairs.
“Think they’re going to like each other?” Abby asked.
“Zachary and Blue?”
“Yes.”
“I’m sure they will. They’ll be like two wonderful old grandpas, shedding a few tears as we say our vows,” Malachi said. They’d reached the door to his room. “For now, however, back to showing me that approval...”
She released his hand and walked into the room. He paused and watched her for a moment.
“What?” she asked, turning back.
“Nothing. I’m just grateful that you’re here, that you walked into my room.”
She laughed softly, a sound that seemed to make the world right. “And I’m just grateful that you walked into my life.”

MIDNIGHT IN SAVANNAH…
It’s a city of beauty, history…hauntings. And one of the most haunted places in Savannah is a tavern called The Dragonslayer, built in the 1750s. The current owner, Gus Anderson, is a descendant of the original innkeeper and his pirate brother, Blue.
Gus summons his granddaughter, Abigail, home from Virginia, where she’s studying at the FBI Academy. When she arrives, she’s devastated to find him dead. Murdered. But Abby soon learns that Gus isn’t the only one to meet a brutal and untimely end; there’ve been at least two other victims. Then Captain Blue Anderson starts making ghostly appearances, and the FBI’s paranormal investigation unit, the Krewe of Hunters, sends in Agent Malachi Gordon.
Abby and Malachi have a similar ability to connect with the dead…and a similar stubbornness. Sparks immediately begin to fly—sparks of attraction and discord. But as the death toll rises, they have to trust each other or they, too, might find themselves among the dead haunting old Savannah!
