Haunted Destiny (2016)
“Jackson asked Roger Antrim.
Roger was pacing the ground floor of his suite. He shook his head. “I asked her not to go off without me. Or, at least not without telling me.” He stopped pacing and turned to stare at Jackson, Jude and David Beach—who had all come running when he’d sent a summons through one of the security guards.

My Lorna wasn’t here!”
