A middle-aged widow haunted by loss. A crumbling mansion on the beach. The island witches who take her in.
Regina Serra has lost her son, husband, and sense of purpose. Her surviving children lead their own lives, her late husband’s legacy of mediocrity weighs her down, and now she’s back to cleaning houses.
This time, it’s for Lily Autumn, the owner of a witchy resort called Dead & Breakfast in the Florida Keys, an island chain Regina always swore she’d never return to. A job in the Keys feels like a slap in the face, but it pays well, her eccentric neighbors are kind to her, and she gets to live in a beautiful old house.
But the plantation is a ghostly place where cigar smoke lingers in the halls, a girl in a nightgown leaves her flowers, and a capuchin monkey appears when she leasts expects it. The house reminds Regina of wealth she can never have. With the help of Lily’s staff, the watchdog fisherman, new friends, and a hotter-than-hell ice cream vendor, Regina knows the only way out of her pain is through it.
Can a woman riddled with fear, used to serving others, carve out a slice of happiness for herself on Skeleton Key? At 47 with nowhere left to turn, Regina is about to find out.
MAGE OF MANGO ROAD, a Paranormal Women's Fiction novel about starting over in midlife, harnessing the magic within, and love and friendships after loss, is Book #3 in the Dead & Breakfast series by Gabrielle Keyes.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
