Book
Blurb: 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?
