Excerpt:
Suddenly,
inactivity transpires within the suite, giving it a graveyard ambiance. Phoebe,
Josh, and Amber become stiff as statues—the result of what happens when time freezes.
Something
lifts me up into the air.
I
can’t believe it! It’s the orb!
Face
to face, we begin to spin in slow motion. “Who are you?” I demand. But it
doesn’t respond. We pick up momentum, and again, I ask, “Who are you?” Still no
response. “If you do not reveal yourself to me, I will report—”
I let out a gasp as I drop to my knees.
I
find myself mesmerized by the intense gaze between Josh and Amber. I snap out
of it, and scramble to my feet, searching for the orb.
It’s
gone.
A
bright light blinds me, as if someone had just snapped a picture in front of my
face. I squeeze my eyes shut, and then I open them, squinting as I adjust to
the natural lighting streaming through the French doors.
Time
unfreezes and then everything continues where it left off.
“Hi,”
Josh says, his brown eyes sparkling.
“Hey.”
Amber smiles, her dimples sinking into her cheeks.
Wonderful. Now there are
two boys who have captured my subject’s interest, making my job more difficult.
Phoebe is right about one thing—there is definitely
some sort of magnetic force radiating over Ambrosial Acres.

Summary from Goodreads:
Three plantations. Two wishes. One ancient curse.
All her life, Barrie Watson has been a virtual prisoner in the house where she lives with her shut-in mother. When her mother dies, Barrie promises to put some mileage on her stiletto heels. But she finds a new kind of prison at her aunt's South Carolina plantation instead--a prison guarded by an ancient spirit who long ago cursed one of the three founding families of Watson Island and gave the others magical gifts that became compulsions.
Stuck with the ghosts of a generations-old feud and hunted by forces she cannot see, Barrie must find a way to break free of the family legacy. With the help of sun-kissed Eight Beaufort, who knows what Barrie wants before she knows herself, the last Watson heir starts to unravel her family's twisted secrets. What she finds is dangerous: a love she never expected, a river that turns to fire at midnight, a gorgeous cousin who isn't what she seems, and very real enemies who want both Eight and Barrie dead.

OF WATSON ISLAND, BOOK 2)
Beautiful
Creatures meets Gone With the Wind
As reporters
chasing rumors of a stolen shipment of Civil War gold descend on Watson Island,
Barrie Watson discovers more is buried at Colesworth Place than treasure. A
mysterious, magical man claims the key to the Watson and Beaufort gifts and the
Colesworth curse also lies beneath the mansion, and Barrie has no option but to
help him find it. While she and Eight Beaufort struggle to make sense of the
escalating danger and their growing feelings for each other, Barrie must decide
not only whom to trust, but which gift is more reliable-Eight's or her own. With the fate of the founding families
at stake, she has to choose between what she feels deep in her heart and what
will keep her loved ones safe.
