I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.This story is set in the fictional "Most Haunted Town in Virginia" of Penny Hollow, a small town trying to keep itself alive by revitalizing tourist traffic with the haunted houses tour. Justin Kent had to return to his hometown after his father's death due to the unusual terms of his father's will - revitalize the town or else! So, in order to get everything set in motion for this tour he needs to acquire the Summerfield property from its new owner, the great niece of the previous owner, Katherine Summerfield. Justin thought he had a verbal agreement with Katherine to buy her house but once the sadness of her passing has been dealt with, he learns that she has left the house to some great-niece no one has ever seen or heard of. Justin assumes that she is going to want to be long gone with a cheque once she sees the property therefore he has his lawyer meet her at the door with "an offer she can't refuse". But she somehow does!When Mackenzie Dillon arrives in Penny Hollow, she feels as though she has come home. Although she was only in the house and town once, it made a great impression on her as she saw "the lady ghost" of the house. Now, having survived an extremely rough divorce and found her muse again in this house, Mac is eager to get settled and get writing and just wants all the town to leave her alone - at least till she meets her deadline! The last thing she needs is Justin's lawyer tossing money at her to get her to sell the house while the house tugs at her soul for her to write its story. Even worse, Justin is being friendly and neighbourly and getting hot and sweaty and taking his shirt off all for her!Justin and Mac certainly get off on the wrong foot but slowly, as the book progresses these two become friendly neighbours and eventually friends. The relationship between them develops quite naturally and the whole flow of the book was quite natural as well. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would love to follow Heather long back to Penny Hollow to explore other adventures. There seems to be quite a few single eligibles in this town....
