Lucifer Cove Series by Virginia Coffman

To Christie Deeth, desperate to forget a broken marriage, a humiliating lover, and the agonizing loss of her self-respect, Lucifer Cove seemed as good a place as any to start a new life. Then, ever so slowly, Christie began hearing things, noticing things—and realized with horror that rather than the lover of a mortal man, she might well become the mistress of Satan…

Lucifer Cove lay a few miles south of San Francisco. When the sun shone it looked like a picture postcard--a beautiful, green spa where people could take a luxurious, memorable holiday.But shrouded in the fog that drifted in from the sea, it became a harbour for the lonely and the lost, an evil world huddled at the foot of a cliff ... a temple for Satan.

It was Jean Benedict’s missionary zeal that had brought her to the Cove—that, and a message from a friend who had cried out to her in torment. But what was Lucy Schallert's plight? Here, at the coastal resort, a cure was offered for lost romances and early sorrows, a renewed chance to live as freely, as vibrantly, as one wished—a chance, even, to call on occult powers which offered excitement.
