It was supposed to be a simple burglary…but the ghosts had
other ideas.
Glaswegian single mother Ariadne McSween is not having a
happy New Year. Instead of celebrating with family and
friends in time-honoured tradition, she’s helping her
scallywag brother and his even less-savoury friends burgle a
mansion in the Scottish Highlands. And nothing is going right.
First there’s the bad weather and car breakdowns. Then,
instead of a quick, quiet robbery under cover of a noisy
party, Addie finds herself flirting outrageously with the
house’s owner, sexy concert pianist and accused murderer,
John Maxwell. Worse, her violent and erratic accomplice,
Shug, takes their hosts hostage.
Another complication: The house turns out to be haunted, and
not just by the ghost of eminent composer Christopher
Maxwell. Two randy spirits drawn to the lust of living want
to join the party—along with the vengeful shade of John’s
murdered wife.
Soon Addie becomes entangled in a host of mysteries, like
why are Ariadne and her cohorts being paid to rob a house
that holds nothing more valuable than dusty musical
manuscripts? And most of all, how does she avoid falling in
love with the chief victim of her crime?
