Barrett (Mind Reader) successfully launches the new Seascape series with a debut contemporary that revolves around a mystical bed-and-breakfast of the same name. The whimsy begins when Tyler MacGregor, a world-class artist, returns to Seascape Inn to find peace and healing after the death of his fiancee. The peace is short lived when Tyler discovers a mysterious ""something"" is holding him against his will and he can't leave. With the arrival of spunky Maggie Wright on the scene, it isn't long before both are embroiled in the mysterious happenings. Barrett's vivid imagination is contagious, and her clever fusion of humor, mystery and romance makes the story almost believable. (Mar.)
