THIS IS NO DREAM...

Nikki DuMonde's newest employee and friend, Andy, is standing at the end of her bed at four o'clock in the morning begging for help. It's a joke, right? Besides, as manager of a successful New Orleans haunted–tour company, Nikki doesn't scare easily. But in the cold light of day, the harshness of reality sets in as a police officer informs her that Andy was brutally murdered at the exact time Nikki swears the distraught woman was pleading in her room.

No one believes her except Brent Blackhawk, a paranormal investigator desperately trying to forget his tragic past. Half Irish, half Native American–and able to communicate with the dead–Brent is used to living in two worlds. But when he realises the ghost of a slain government agent is also trying to reach out to Nikki, he knows that she, too, must listen to the dead...if she wants to keep living.
