Flirty

Home renovation specialist Alexis Miller thought snapping up an old Victorian fixer-upper in podunk Whispering Cove would put her on the fast track to proving herself to her brothers.

She can handle cooling her heels to wait for the right permits. It's the ghosthunter claiming he needs to spend the night to check out the "cold spots" that's got her body temperature fluctuating.

When Sam Doherty responds to an emergency phone call to cleanse a haunted house in Whispering Cove, the first thing he notices is how Alexis hides her femininity behind baggy coveralls—and how she wants to cover up the old home's beauty with modern frills. As a guy who "sees" things others can't, he sets out to teach her to appreciate the hidden beauty, inside and out.

Scary noises soon send Alexis into Sam's arms, and when a kiss leads to passionate lovemaking, Alexis wonders if it's possible to find common ground in this small town. Or, once the house is "clean", if Sam will disappear faster than a ghostly apparition.

Warning: Contains enough sexual tension to raise spirits and turn any cold spot into a sweltering vortex of heat and passion.
