When Viveca Stanhope fled a scandalous past in San Francisco to make a new life for herself in Victorian Savannah, little did she know she'd be landing in a Southern Gothic version of Spook City. From the sexy ghost in her bathtub to the werewolf howling outside her window, Hangman's House is indeed a fright! And Viveca's Nightmare on Lost Lane comes complete with a half-crazed housekeeper, a mysterious houseboy with a fetish for knife-throwing and numerous other odd bedfellows. Still, Viveca is determined to find her place in Savannah society and pursue a prominent local clergyman. But two sexy rogues stand between her and her goals: the bawdy ghost of Alexander Fremont, haunted Savannah's answer to a rubber ducky; and Maxwell Beecher, Viveca's devilishly handsome, arrogant new neighbor, who deems himself the answer to her prayers. Both would know all her dark secrets; both would unmask the passions she struggles so hard to repress. Will one of them claim her heart and soul before she loses her mind?

Young Xanthius is given the job of seeing that absent minded Archimedes eats and bathes occasionally. His success has much to do with the formulation of Archimedes' Principle.

During a fun bath with friends, young Mr. Archimedes stumbles upon the principle that would later bear his name, learning science and friendship in one splashing adventure.
