But one stubborn cowboy stands in her way. So now, after lying about her identity, she has a reservation at the dude ranch. She has her camera, her equipment, and she's covertly going to get the scoop on any paranormal activity. What she didn’t plan on was Travis Burnett awakening feelings she’d long ago given up on. She doesn’t have time for love, especially with a man she’s keeping secrets from. She has a ghost to catch and a show to promote. And no hunky cowboy is going to stop her.
