Ian pulled away the slightest bit, looking down at me, his blue eyes intense. What I felt for Ian was real, and ironically he made me feel alive in a way I hadn’t been since my mom’s death. I could feel the play of muscle and sinew beneath my fingers. Exhilaration and need rushed through me as my hands flattened against his back.
I sighed into his mouth and he smiled against my lips before he deepened the kiss, his tongue sliding against mine, silky soft. The next thing I knew, his arms came around me, crushing me to him. I sensed his surprise, but only for an instant. I had meant for it only to be a chaste kiss, a you-make-me-so-happy kind of kiss, but it ended up being something completely altogether different. ***************** Excerpt: I stared at him, and I don’t know what came over me, but I took the steps that separated us and I kissed him. As if her life wasn't complicated enough, the malevolent spirit of the woman who killed Ian returns and she'll stop at nothing to keep Riley from helping Ian find eternal peace. Riley believes her gift could help Ian end the curse that has kept him tied to the land for centuries, but that would mean letting him go forever and she's not sure she is strong enough to do that.
An uneasy truce quickly turns into friendship, and soon Riley's falling hard for Ian. When her father moves the family to Scotland so they can all start over, Riley believes her life couldn't get worse––that is until the ghost of nineteen-year-old Ian MacKinnon catches her purposely cutting herself. Guilt-ridden over the belief that she's somehow responsible for her mom's death, Riley is desperate to see her mother's elusive spirit to gain her forgiveness. Sixteen-year-old Riley Williams has been able to see ghosts since the car crash that took her mother's life and shattered her family.
