of Murder by Lara Nance, a Paranormal Romance is available now but will be .99 cents

BLURB:
When Maeve McKenna renounces her witch powers
and accepts a low-key nurse practitioner position at a Virginia retirement
community, the last thing she expects is a suicide her first day on the job.
As the town's sexy sheriff, Paul Sutton, starts looking into the
tragic death of his father's friend, Maeve can't help but get involved--with
both the case and him. Their informal investigation unveils an old journal that
connects the ruins of a nearby asylum and long-forgotten cemetery with the
shiny new retirement community's memory unit--and Maeve's Alzheimer's patients.
Maeve senses a sinister presence in the old asylum, calling to the
patients, but in order to stop it from killing again, she must first conquer
some demons of her own and reclaim the magic she's denied herself.
Excerpt:
“No, stop. Don’t jump!” Maeve McKenna yelled at the man
poised on the roof three stories above her. Her heart pounded as he took a step
that left his toes hanging over the edge. A wave of cold that had nothing to do
with fear pressed about her as though a frigid hand gripped her soul. She
frowned at the eerie presence and pressed her hands to her head.
“Damn.” She swirled around looking for help. Across the
parking lot and among the small villas scattered about the manicured landscape,
elderly couples strolled or walked their dogs. But they were too far away to do
more than stare in her direction. The urge to use her powers was pointless, she
no longer had them.
“Hey,” she called trying to get the man’s attention as he
looked back over his shoulder, eyes wide as he flinched away from something she
couldn’t see. If only he would talk to her, she might be able to keep him safe
until someone got to him. He had on pajamas, so he must be a patient. She held
up her hands. “Hey, back up, stop.”
“Oh, no! Mr. Baker, no!” A woman with short black hair ran
from the main entrance of the retirement community, waving her arms.
Both Maeve and the woman screamed as the unfortunate Mr.
Baker took a step into the air and hurtled to the ground. He landed in a heap
of tangled limbs and bloody splatter on the sidewalk in front of them. The cold
presence surrounding Maeve seeped away, leaving her rubbing her arms and
puzzled at the sensation.

This book is near and dear to my heart with a underlying message about depression and how it has been mistreated in women over the years.
