True Believer

"Jeremy Marsh is the ultimate New Yorker: handsome, almost always dressed in black, and part of the media elite. With a regular column in Scientific American, Jeremy is an expert on debunking the supernatural. When he receives a letter from the tiny town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, about ghostly lights that appear in a legend-shrouded cemetery, he can't resist driving down to investigate. Lexie Darnell runs Boone Creek's library, just as her mother did before the accident that left Lexie an orphan. Disappointed by past relationships, she is sure of one thing: her future is in Boone Creek, close to her grandmother and all the other people she loves. Jeremy expects to spend a quick week in "the sticks" before speeding back to the city. But from the moment he sets eyes on Lexie, he is intrigued by and attracted to the beautiful woman who speaks with a soft drawl and confounding honesty. And Lexie finds herself thinking of Jeremy more than she cares to admit. If they're going to be together, Jeremy must make a difficult choice: return to the life he knows or take a giant leap of faith."--Back cover.
