Ginger Sneaking out to the old Barton homestead on Halloween was the stupidest idea ever. For one thing, the ranch is haunted by four hanged cowboys. For another, its current resident supposedly hacked his parents to pieces. Rain-soaked and terrified, I thought my night couldn’t get worse than wandering the dark prairie on a paranormal investigation. I was wrong. When a ghostly rider causes me to take a nasty spill, my so-called friends abandon me to face my doom. Luckily, my doom includes the biggest, hottest, hunkiest, most handsome cowboy I’ve ever seen. Silas is strong, protective, caring, and a lot older than I am. But is he a murderer, too? Silas All I want in life is to work and avoid the family curse. And if the residents of Wilkes could stop trespassing on my property every Halloween, that would be great, too. The townsfolk don’t like me, and I don’t much care for them either… but then I’ve never met Ginny before tonight. When she takes a hard fall trying to escape one of the infamous hanged cowboys, the intensity of my desire to help her takes me by surprise. I’ll do anything in my power to keep Ginny safe and protected, including whisking her off to my home—over my shoulder, if necessary. Doesn’t take long to figure out that I never want her to leave. Ginny is my perfect woman—brave, smart, sweet, and all kinds of curvy. Even if I’ve got more than a few years on her, she’s the only woman I want. Unfortunately, my reputation precedes me. Ginny has a notion of who I am in her head already. I just have to convince her to trust her heart instead.
