When Jade Nethercott is asked to go to London and
investigate a murder, she knows she has no choice in the
matter. The person requesting the favor happens to be a
ghost, and in exchange for Jade doing as he requests, he's
promised to find a way to bring her father's spirit back,
so Jade can talk to him one last time. But the man the
ghost has accused of the murder is a known rake, and where
Jade needs to investigate could surely ruin her
reputation.
Gideon Bannatyne never wanted the family title; he was more
than happy with his life before his relatives started
dropping like flies. Even though the deaths were determined
to be accidents or natural causes, Gideon knows they were
murdered. And he has every intention of seeing that the
responsible person hangs. When beautiful Jade enters his
life requesting his assistance, he's more than willing to
help; for helping her will help him gain the answers he
needs.
The heat of attraction between Jade and Gideon, combined
with the suspense of murder and the spiritual world, makes
this story hard to put down. Jade is a strong-minded woman
who knows how to use her brain and her femininity. Gideon
is not only an intelligent man, but he exudes sex appeal
and knows how to use it. I really enjoyed this story and
look forward to Jade's sister, China, having her story told
soon.
Her dear father died before convincing people of the
existence of ghosts, so Jade Nethercott and her sisters set
out to prove him right. Meanwhile, a ghost named Renshaw
reveals to Jade his murderer's identity-Lord Bannatyne,
notorious rake-so that she might protect Renshaw's fiancee.
A nervous Jade finagles a meeting with Bannatyne, but he
proves to be anything but rakish when he risks arrest
rather than ruin Jade's reputation. Now she must decide
whether to heed the ghost's warning-or follow her heart...
