Some paths are destined to cross again...
You would think that after helping a ghost find peace by solving a hundred-year-old mystery and thwarting a murderess' plans, Mary Corbett's life as an estate curator would settle back into a normal routine. Well, one can always wish...
At the moment, things couldn't be better. Not only is she married to her beloved Jack, but her dream of owning a bed and breakfast has come true, thanks to the help of her very rich, but snotty Aunt Elizavon. Now that the Blue Moon Inn is open, there's just one thing left for Mary to do—invite Sadie and Justine, the two elderly women who served as the plantation's former housekeepers, back for a visit.
What Mary doesn't know is that Sadie, the elderly Voodoo priestess who predicted the series of events that brought Mary and Jack together, is also searching for her. But Sadie's reasons are much more pressing—she's started having visions again, and this time they're worse than before.
After Sadie arrives, Mary starts having ESP flashes of her own. Why is she seeing ghosts again, and how is her life tied to the "brown man" that Sadie's so afraid of? What kind of trouble is he destined to bring, and worse yet, how does Sadie know he's going to visit the inn?

Reviews:
"...Readers who have not read BLUE MOON will find that BREAKING THE CHAIN reads well as a standalone. Intriguing characterizations and a fast paced plot sweep the reader into a spirited read. Author CD Ledbetter masterfully builds the tension with layers of intrigue that lead to a surprising conclusion. This richly textured paranormal suspense comes highly recommended."
"...Having enjoyed Blue Moon, I was delighted to find Breaking the Chain to be the sequel book. Again the pace was fast, the twists in the tale a delight to read. Now that the main characters are married to each other, it was less of a romance, but it's nice to see a couple living together, working out their differences, and loving each other. I recommend Breaking the Chain as much as I did Blue Moon."
"...
Ms. Ledbetter's second story is just as great a read as the first. The action is non stop, the vivid descriptions take you right into the supernatural atmosphere of the story. The voodoo world is mysterious and frightening and keeps you on the edge of your seat intrigued all the more with its danger. And Mary and Jack's love is just as strong as before, helping them battle against the evil that threatens to destroy them.
A definite recommend and a ‘keeper'! I eagerly look forward to more of Ms. Ledbetter's books."
