From New York Times and USA Today Best-Selling Author, Rebecca York

When death is stalking, only a phantom can save her--and love her.

Fleeing to her father's abandoned Arizona ranch to hide from political assassins, Isabella Flores is attacked by a ghost haunting the property. He's Decorah Security agent Matthew Houseman, killed in the line of duty. Still, passion blooms between Isabella and Matthew, and as their relationship turns more physical, Matthew becomes more real to himself and to her. After the ranch is attacked and Matthew helps save Isabella's life, she learns a startling secret. There may be hope of bringing her ghost lover back--if she dares to risk everything.

He looks like a ghost, but when she closes her eyes, everything changes.

EXCERPT:

Had she gone crazy? Was she so unbalanced that she was trying to bring back something she had never really had?

She felt warmth radiating from him before he touched her and had time to wonder about how that could be possible. Then she felt his body, solid and masculine. His arms wrapped around her back, folding her close. She molded herself to him, her eyes still closed as she rested her cheek against his shoulder, holding him tightly, absorbing the reality of him.

"Isabella," he murmured, saying her name like a man who had finally come home from a long voyage or a war. "Querida."

His hands stroked up and down her back, molding her upper body to his.

It felt so right to be in his arms, like a dream come true, and she knew at that moment how much she needed the strength of Matthew Houseman.

She had come here feeling lost and alone, yet wondering if it was really the right thing to do.

No more.

Not when she was wrapped in the security of Matthew's embrace.

He rubbed his lips against hers, but she sensed that he was ready to pull away if she protested.

Not likely.

She felt him smile as he increased the pressure, moving his mouth against hers with the skill of a man who knows how to make love with a woman.
