As the two men draw closer, the angry spirit seems bent on keeping them apart. Can the new lovers solve the mystery of Temperance Bradstreet or will it leave both men haunted?

Ghost hunter Marlowe Bond is shocked when Peyton West, the man who spent the last two years doggedly debunking his paranormal investigations, calls for help after allegedly being attacked in his home by a spirit. After a night in the house, Marlowe’s not sure anything more than a well-staged hoax is the culprit. Along for the ride is Marlowe’s boyfriend, artist Trip Cahill. Trip is expecting your standard low-grade paranormal activity, but gets more than he bargained for when Peyton explains that he’s being haunted by the ghost of Jordan Finch, a businessman who was killed fifteen years ago by his wife’s teenaged hitman. Is the spirit of Jordan Finch plotting the ultimate revenge for his murder, or is this “haunting” another in a long line of fantasies for Marlowe to debunk? Debunked is book two in the new Haunted? series and features a quirky ghost hunter, his witchy boyfriend, and a disinterested cat named after a Stevie Nicks song.

But he knows there’s no stopping Marlowe when he has his mind set on something. So Trip agrees to help with the case, figuring it’s his best chance at keeping his stubborn ghost hunter safe. But all bets are off when Marlowe is attacked. Trip doesn’t want anyone else to get hurt, while Marlowe refuses to abandon their client in his hour of need. Even worse, they both know it may be too late for them to walk away now that a murderous entity has their scent. Can Marlowe and Trip convince the angry spirit to cross over, or will they be the next victims to be cursed?
