Penelope Potter was thrilled to go to London with her brother, Harry, for his best friend's wedding.  And she was determined to ignore the jealousy that arose at the thought of Art Collingsworth marrying another woman.  Besides, she'd already committed to a life of independence -- free from love or marriage.  But Penny didn't expect to gbe thrown together with Art to puzzle out Harry's bizarre change in behavior.  It was almost as if Harry was . . . possessed?

Now Penny's free-spirited ways take them on an adventure through England -- to get to the heart of Harry's troubles.  As Penny and Art join to fight the cantankerous spirit determined to keep possession of poor Harry's body, they also find themselves fighting the passion between them . . .

 

RESTLESS SPIRITS

Prologue

    Chester Pease's mother used to say that the company he kept would be the ruination of him.  His aunt generally countered that for something to go bad, it had to be good in the first place.  Invariably, she went on to say Chester didn't qualify.

    Probably John Wesley Hardin best expressed most folks's opinions of Chester.  In April of 1877, right before he plugged Chester in the heart after a poker game in Cimarron, New Mexico Territory, John Wesley said, "You're a low-down, snake-eyed, cheatin-son of a bitch, Chester Pease."  Nobody argued.

    Thus it was that in his twenty-first year of life, Chester Pease, who had behaved very badly during those years, died.  That would have been the end of him but for a twist of fate . . .
