But someone doesn't want Edith or River in the seemingly haunted house. When Edith falls victim to too many 'accidents' – and falls hard for River – the Texas loner risks everything to protect her. If the ghosts of Coltons past lurk in the shadows, it's up to Edith and River to hunt them down…

Wary of intimacy since suffering a life–changing injury, Everest recognises a kindred spirit in Mallory. His beautiful coworker stirs tender feelings in him he'd long forgotten.
