Everything is more complicated when you talk to ghosts. Cecily is ready to re-launch her life after the death of her boyfriend, starting with moving her over-worked sister, Zander, back to Seattle. The trouble is Scott—the sexy, tattoo artist brother of Zander's boyfriend—who is making the move, too.

When Zander's behavior becomes erratic, they blame the pressure of the move—until she spirals in ways more supernatural than stressed. Cecily and Scott band together, navigating their attraction while helping to save Zander's life...

When Danny tracks down a female wolf, he hesitates to help imprison her male companion. At first Danny doesn't remember this wolf, at least not logically, but his senses are completely overtaken and he's sure he's met this Alpha before. This wolf isn't just his former Alpha. Jamie is also his mate, and after years of believing Danny dead, Jamie's not going to let his mate go ever again. Even if it means working together to kill each of the hunters so they can never take their lives again — or come between their mating bond.
