Harper Harlow has the world at her fingertips, and the weight of the world on her shoulders. Whisper Cove’s resident ghost hunter finds that her professional life is soaring – while her personal life is floundering. She’s on a man diet – and nothing is going to tempt her, or so she swears. Jared Monroe thought ten days away was nothing – until Harper’s anger hit him square in the face, and the heart, upon his return to town. He didn’t mean to hurt her, but a woman’s anger runs deep. When a teenager is found in a local park, Jared and Harper find their paths intersecting … again. Derek Thompson may have been looking forward to a bright future, but now he’s only looking back at a tortured past as his murderer runs free. Jared and Harper have to work together – and face their issues – if they want to put Derek to rest. Working together is a great idea … until their hormones get in the way. Can this couple find common ground? And, more importantly, can the dark underbelly of Whisper Cove survive the sordid truth? Only time will tell, and Jared and Harper are running out of it.
