With her reputationendangered, her bank account on the verge of extinction, and her career at riskof going up in flames, Violet is desperate. When the opportunity to sellanother vintage home materializes, she grabs it, even though this “haunted”house was recently the stage for a two-act murder-suicide tragedy.

Ghost or no ghost,Violet knows this can’t be as bad as the last house of horrors she tried tosell, but sexy Doc Nyce has serious doubts. Her only hope of hanging on to herjob is to prove that the so-called ghostly sightings are merely the eccentricowner’s optical delusions.
