Publisher Description
There’s just something about Clare. Apart from the ghosts…
When her eccentric aunt passes away, no-nonsense accountant Clare Cermak inherits more than just a small fortune. She receives the gift of communicating with ghosts. While Clare may not believe in spirits, it’s hard to overlook the shadowy talking dog appearing on her bed or spectral cowboys tipping their hats to her in the streets of Denver. And when she locks eyes with sexy—and living—Zach Slade, there’s certainly no ignoring him either.
A former deputy sheriff, Zach is leaving a painful past behind in Montana for a new life in Denver as a private investigator, a job that has him crossing paths with beautiful Clare. Not that she minds. After the restless ghost of a Wild West gunman demands her assistance, Clare finds herself needing Zach more and more—and not just for help.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
RITA winner Owens, best known for her Celta's HeartMates futuristic romance series, is gunning hard to broaden her audience with the first Ghost Seer paranormal contemporary, featuring cowboys, cops, and outlaws. It's a notably successful experiment, combining much-loved character types with touches of humor and sizzle. Montana deputy sheriff Zach Slade has been injured and embittered in a shooting and needs a fresh start. Clare Cermak, a buttoned-up Denver accountant, has just inherited the estate of her psychic great-aunt, along with the ability to see ghosts herself. The ghosts want Clare to solve their mysteries so they can pass on; Zach just happens to have the necessary skill set, along with a job offer from a Denver private investigation firm. The blend of history and investigation makes the mystery persuasive, and the chemistry between Clare and Zach is well scripted. Owens knows just how to press her readers' buttons, and they'll love every minute of it.
Customer Reviews
A different take on mediums and ghosts.
Clare was an accountant who quit her job when an inheritance left her very wealthy, just so a more needy person could take it. Zach is a deputy sheriff who is badly wounded on the job and can’t bear to work behind a desk, so he quits too. Clare then discovers her inheritance comes with some unexpected complications and a new set of skills and then she meets Zach. Clare’s first ghost is a notorious gunfighter who shares a surname with Zach, and Zach like Clare is in denial where it comes to psychic talents. These two confused and rather confounded individuals need to face some harsh truths about their abilities both physical and psychic as well as their need for each other.
