Pushing Up Roses

Discovering why a spirit is lingering has never been more critical for Leah McKnight. But will learning why Dave's mom refused to follow her reaper cause Dave more devastation or free him from his father's drunken shadow?

Dave's mother's spirit isn't Leah's only worry. Rose is dying. When she passes, Isaac will follow-his spirit finally free to merge with the woman he loves. With Ashes's death still a raw and open wound, Leah dreads the loss of another friend.

Leaving her apartment filled with memories of Ashes, Leah moves into a new home with Chrissie and her daughter, Lilly. With Andy now at her side, a new place and a fresh start sound perfect. Leah's proved wrong when Lilly's father shows up on their doorstep, demanding custody of the daughter he abandoned years ago. Mark's motives are suspect, his financial backing dangerous, and Lilly's future hangs in the balance.

Life would be easier if Leah could turn her back, walk away and wash her hands of the people complicating her life. However, if there's one thing she's learned it's that life is messy-the people making it up even messier.

But when someone goes missing, life goes from messy to frightening.
