Publisher Description
There's no rest for the haunted.
If someone had asked Zoey Hawthorne eighteen months ago to describe her life she would have said it couldn't be better. Perfect marriage, booming business, and best of all, her son was alive. Today she's divorced, unemployed, and pissed at the universe for taking her child, a loss that's cracked her soul in half. To date, she's addicted to pain meds and anger, with no intention of turning back.
When Zoey inherits a ranch in rural Colorado from an estranged great uncle, she leaves Chicago behind to self-destruct in peace. But lightning changes her plans. Zoey is struck and left with an extrasensory gift that lets her see one more problem on her hands: vengeful spirits haunting her land. To stop the cycle of death rampant on her property, Zoey must solve a fifty-year-old mass murder while keeping her hot lover from melting her armor. She's tough enough for the task--provided she isn't killed in the process.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Buckley takes readers on a pulse-pounding suspense ride with a touch of romance. After Zoey Hawthorne's little boy is killed in a horrific Ferris wheel accident, Zoey spirals into a deep depression, developing an addiction to multiple pharmaceuticals. When she inherits a large piece of property from her great-uncle Amos, she leaves behind her painful memories in Chicago and starts over again in Colorado. What Zoey doesn't realize is that there is a 50-year-old mystery to be solved, and the ghost haunting Amos's home wants her to solve it. A lightning strike gives her horrifying visions, and Zoey along with her ex-husband, Mitch; his clairvoyant girlfriend, Sterling; and Zoey's new younger boyfriend, Lance sets out to find the truth. While the sex scenes between Zoey and Lance are hot, most of the story is given to solving the intriguing mystery, with a twist at the end readers won't see coming.
