"The legends of an ancient cannibal demon might have been enthralling, but they were folklore. To Jo and Becca, investigating reports of a Windigo is a lively scholarly exercise, and for Grady and Elena, it means a weekend at an idyllic mountain retreat. Only Pat and Maggie can draw on their Native roots to recognize a monster out of Algonquin myth, but only if they unlock the mystery of their shared past. Throw six volatile personalities into a snowbound cabin, beset by a blizzard, and stalked by a monster, and there's no assurance they'll survive the night with their sanity intact -- or their lives"--Back cover.

Becca Healy always believed she understood the shameful circumstances of her mother's death--until the night her mother's spirit whispers a simple message out of the static of a radio: "Not true." Becca turns to the terse Dr. Joanne Call, an expert in Electronic Voice Phenomenon--ghost voices--to unravel the mystery of this decades-old tragedy. Joanne can coax messages out of the silence of the grave, but coping with this feisty, emotional Healy person might be completely beyond her. Together, Becca and Jo must tackle childhood grief, a serial killer, Xena withdrawal, and a growing attraction between the two most mismatched women in Seattle.

Mac closed her eyes because that's how one traditionally prepared for prayer, and she was in need of divine intervention. A hiccup of laughter almost bubbled out of her. What kind of merciful goddess would cast her, shirtless and prostrate before a roaring fire on a stormy night, subject to the tender ministrations of the straightest woman on the eastern seaboard? Mac is a new therapist at Fireside, a domestic violence shelter in rural Virginia. Mac hopes to find answers here--answers for the women and children she works with, and to her own lifelong restlessness. Perhaps she'll even learn the identity of the small ghost who's been following her all her life. Abby is the shelter's doctor--irresistibly alluring, and straight as a stick. Mac and Abby, devoted to those they serve, discover equal passion for each other while fighting to protect all they love. Fireside is a story of love, friendship, healing, and laying our ghosts to rest at last.
