The Nethercott sisters—China, Jade, and Sian—recently lost their beloved father., who believed in ghosts with all his heart. So when China sees her first one, she realizes the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…
On her way home, China is dumbfounded to find a man in a Roman centurion’s garb. So Quintus Valerius explains: he’s a ghost cursed to remain on earth until he can save one of his descendants from murder. Thus far his work has been in vain, but this time the Roman spirit has a plan.
Quintus has a plan. He’ll cause an injury to Alexander, Major Lord Braddock, so China might keep him from his murderer. Tending the patient’s wounds proves nigh impossible. Alexander refuses to stay put—and she can’t keep from thinking about her handsome war hero in some very improper ways. But Quintus forgot to mention the second half of the curse, and China’s destiny may be tied to Alexander’s—to the death…

"This adventurous, romantic tale will thrill everyone with its magic and unexpected twists and turns. The Regency period was never so exciting!" - Lindsay McKenna
"I loved everything about KINDRED SPIRITS. The characters were so fully developed they seemed real. Even the scary giants were realistic enough that they terrified me. The love between Alexander and China was both searingly hot and sublimely tender. The plot is intricate, fast-paced, and gripping to the point that I realized I was holding my breath while I read certain passages!
The drama, mystery and romance in Jocelyn Kelley’s KINDRED SPIRITS is sure to satisfy any reader. It certainly satisfied this one! I look forward to reading more from this very talented storyteller." Kay James at Romance Reader at Heart
"KINDRED SPIRITS is a terrific, lighthearted, paranormal Regency romance that will have everyone believing in ghosts. China is a courageous heroine who rescues Alexander and brings him back to her isolated home Nethercott Castle to heal. Fast-paced, fans will wonder whether the love between them will end the curse with a happily ever after in this life or eternity together in the afterlife (it is a romance). Jocelyn Kelley provides a delightful charmer filled with subtly like setting the time frame ten years after Napoleon claims emperorship." Genre Go Round
"KINDRED SPIRITS is the second story starring a Nethercott sister, and it is quite a romp. The action is fast paced, the romance passionate, and the mysteries, for there are more than one, are suspenseful and full of twists. I highly recommend KINDRED SPIRITS, and if, at its conclusion, you are sorry to say goodbye to China and Nethercott Castle, there are her sister Jade’s story LOST IN SHADOW (July 2007) to enjoy..."
