Octavia Daniel buys Elmwood Ranch as a place to settle after years on the road, only to face unexplained disturbances and a workforce unwilling to stay. Rae Jones arrives as a paranormal investigator, carrying a family legacy she has turned into a business while questioning where that work is taking her. The rancher’s skepticism and the investigator’s confidence make cooperation difficult, but solving the mystery requires them to build trust. Their developing romance is woven into the investigation, with the haunting putting both their partnership and their chances of getting out safely at stake.

Book overview

Elmwood Ranch is Octavia Daniel's dream. A safe place to land after years on the road. But once she signs the paperwork and receives the keys, the nightmare begins.

 

Shadows move on their own, strange accidents become the norm, and injured ranch hands refuse to work a second longer. Octavia doesn't believe in ghosts, but she can't deny something's wrong with the land she's sunk her entire savings into.

 

Rae Jones is in the business of ending nightmares. She comes from a family of successful paranormal investigators. But she's set herself apart from the Jones sisters by making their legacy into a commercial success.

 

After years of enjoying said success, she's hit a wall. Whether it's burnout or a full-blown existential crisis, she doesn't know. One way to try to avoid a downward spiral? Take every interesting job she can get. And that includes one from a very stand-offish, nonbelieving horse rancher who thinks she's a scam artist and the things she hunts don't exist.

 

Octavia and Rae must figure out how to work together if they have any hope of solving what's truly going on at Elmwood. As they build trust, they begin to build something more. Something that could either help or harm their chances of making it out of this haunting alive.
