Seattle, Washington – Present Day
Megan Barrows worked with her mother from the time she was a small child learning the ins and outs of antiques. So, when her mother died two years ago, Megan was able to successfully take over the running of the shop. In addition to owning and operating the antique store, Megan has another talent; she senses the presence of ghosts and hears them when they communicate with her.
This special talent is the very reason one six-foot-three handsome hunk named Case Lambert walks through the doors of her shop. Megan is instantly attracted, but a glance at him as he takes in her tall, lean, A-Cup figure and Megan immediately stereotypes him. She couldn’t be more wrong! Case is very attracted to her, though he doesn’t let Megan know it -- that is, until later!
Case bought and is restoring a very old house, and it’s come complete with ghosts who are plaguing him. He’s heard about Megan’s 'gift,' though he is skeptical, but he needs her talents to seek out and rid his house of these troublemaking ghosts.
What transpires next is a rip-roaring ghost story, complete with good and evil. The ghosties don’t want to leave. Well...one of them does, but the other two are determined to keep him. I was a little lost trying to understand all of the electronic equipment described in the tale, but even so, Lisa Cach tells a lively paranormal story that will hold your interest.
One of the points in the story I was pleased about was the fact that the heroine actually did not want to jump into bed with the hero immediately. She wanted to know if they really liked each other first. Lisa Cach keeps the sensuality on a slow sizzle until it explodes.
Both of Ms. Cach’s lead characters learn lessons by the end of the story; Case has to learn to trust in Megan’s gift, and Megan conquers her fear when faced with a challenge, all of which leads to a satisfying conclusion.
