She talks to the dead. They talk dirty. Lennie Pendrake runs a haunted museum in Salem, offering seances for a price. When she unlocks a cursed chest, she frees Cora Winters—a silver-tongued ghost with a talent for possession, an insatiable desire for pleasure, and a taste for the living. Then there’s Devereaux—Lennie’s most trusted supplier of rare antiquities, a man who always knows exactly what she needs. She tells herself their chemistry is harmless, but the objects he brings her carry whispers of something darker. A tryst between the living and the dead. A seance gone too far. A scandalous proposition. A secret waiting to be unearthed. She’s spent her life speaking to the dead—now one refuses to let her go.
