For as long as J.T. Whitlock could remember, he’d been able to see the dead and talk to them. As a child, it had scared him half to death, but gradually he became aware that the images he saw—sometimes solid, sometimes shadows—weren’t going to hurt him. Or could they? When J.T. sees the spirit of one of his murdered students, Cody Baxter, sitting at the back of his classroom, he doesn’t realize at first that Cody is dead. Then the police pay him a visit. Detective Nathan Brickman, “Brick” to his friends, is attracted to the gorgeous young professor right away, but he senses J.T. is hiding something. And why does the professor keep showing up in his crime scene and interfering with his investigation? When the police find the murder weapon with J.T.’s prints on it, and J.T. tells them the exact nature of Cody’s wounds, Brick has no choice but to arrest him for murder. Can a medium find true love with an extra-large detective? And how can Brick and J.T. find their way to each other when the spirits keep trying to butt in?

After only three months together, J.T. is shocked when his lover, Detective “Brick” Brickman decides he needs a little “break,” in their relationship, just to figure things out. Heartbroken and angry, J.T. refuses to see Brick again or take any of his calls, and travels to Savannah with Penny, his friend and recently published new author to a romance writers’ convention in Savannah, Georgia. The old city is rife with stories of hauntings and mysteries and soon J.T. and Penny become embroiled in a mystery of their own. Who’s killing the bestselling authors at the convention and why has the killer suddenly targeted J.T.? With a hurricane bearing down on them and both Brick and his brother Scott trying to make it to Savannah before the storm hits, they’ll all be lucky to make it out alive.

For the past few months, J.T. Whitlock has been happy with his dusty chalkboards and bored college students, because it means he hasn’t been bothered by any ghosts desperate to pass on messages to him. An English professor and a reluctant medium, J.T. is hoping for some uninterrupted time to further his relationship with "Brick" Brickman, a fedora-wearing, deeply closeted detective with the Atlanta Major Crimes Division. But who is the spirit person who begins appearing to J.T. in the park? And what does he want from J.T.? Meanwhile, another young man, the nephew of Brick’s partner, has gone missing, and as a favor to the young man’s family, J.T. agrees to do a little sniffing around. His investigations bring him face to face with his ghost from the park and some startling revelations about the nephew’s activities. Brick has to defend his lover when other detectives question his involvement in yet another case, and they both have to figure out a way to protect themselves as more deep, dark secrets are revealed and J.T. becomes a target in a killer’s cruel games.
