Jasmine Street Blues

Police Chief Joseph Maxwell had almost given up the search for his estranged stepdaughter, but lately he's been motivated to step up his efforts. His ex-wife's ghost — he still can't believe how that happened — told him to find their girl. He's put his own life on hold and that can't change, not until he finds Carrie. He doesn't count on a friend who's determined to play matchmaker. 

Loran Raine moves often, picking up in the middle of the night and lighting out when it seems as if someone might discover her secret. A talented artist who sells landscapes and florals, what really drives her to the canvas remains behind closed doors. Portraits of the dead. Over the years the discovery of these paintings have led to confusion, accusations, and even danger. She can't afford to get involved with a man, no matter how badly her new friend wants her and Mac to become an item. 

Love should be impossible when Mac and Loran are both obsessed with their own secrets, their own quests, but they're drawn together in a way neither of them expects or wants. Can Mac keep Loran safe from those who hunt her? Can she help him find Carrie? 

Will a message from his ex-wife's ghost bring them together or tear them apart?
