Being one of a set of triples, Harmony
Cartwright has never lived a normal life. But what made her life unusual
was that they were all psychic. With the ability to read images and
emotions from old objects, Harmony always maintained her distance from
others for fear of being swamped with emotions. But when an old dress
called out to her, Harmony knew she couldn’t refuse a psychic mandate.
One touch and she knew what she had to do – she needed to rescue a ghost
from a castle.
Paxton Castle has
been in the family for generations. All King Paxton wanted to do was
renovate the money pit and get rid of the blasted thing. He knew woman
and one look told him the one who showed up on his doorstep was trouble.
That she could silence the haunted wailings of a ghost and quiet
disputes between the workers only made it worse. But as soon as he
managed to force her out of the castle, he had a mutiny on his hands.
Not only did his men refuse to work, the ghost itself protested.
Even though he
knew he would regret it, King bowed to the inevitable and invited
Harmony to stay. He offered her a job and in return, he would gain peace
to finish the castle on deadline. Harmony accepted with only a twinge of
unease. That she seemed to be able to read his mind helped make her
decision. That he was a hunky man that made her mouth water was an added
bonus. Now, all she had to do was get rid of a ghost that didn’t want to
leave and convince Paxton that all woman weren’t the same.
This fabulous
story really captured my attention. King and Harmony were made for each
other. Their interactions are interspersed with humor, romance and
tension enough to keep the pages turning. I loved the tone of the story,
the difficulties they encountered and I found the magic realistic enough
to be believable. To read how a ghost tamer caught a sexy, relationship
shy tycoon in a whirlwind romance, make sure you pick this latest
release of Annette Blair.
