When Cassie Taylor talks, ghosts listen. She wants to heal their souls so they can leave earth. Brooding songwriter Luke Rivers wants to give his recently found daughter a normal home, but he discovers his new house in small town Wisconsin is haunted by a ghost with an attitude. His ghost whisperer has an attitude too - even before someone tries to kill her.He wants conventional; she wants acceptance. No wonder she thinks men are hard and dead people are easy.

Some people will do anything for the perfect address... Ghost therapist Cassie Taylor is hired to get rid of a ghost haunting an upscale Chicago condo. But the elderly resident doesn’t want her gentlemanly apparition to leave. She loves him and he loves her. Too bad her grandson and his fiancée insist either the ghost goes - or she goes. Too bad she’d signed the deed to the condo to her grandson to help him avoid inheritance taxes. Too bad the fiancée has plans of her own. Throw in a pretty neighbor, a dirty family scandal, and Cassie’s very new, very sexy and sometimes very grumpy husband, and anything can happen...even murder. This Haunted Hearts short story is a sequel to Dead People. 12,348 words
