Elena Murphy tried to escape the ghosts by moving as far away from Owen Station as she could get. It didn't work. So when her dad asks her to manage the front-of-the-house at Murphy's Mortuary Funeral Services, which her cold-as-ice brothers are burying, she packs up her art studio and comes home. This time, though, she's not the town weirdo but an up-and-coming photographer who has embraced her sixth sense—and learned how to use it.

Allison Jones is the charismatic new assistant fire chief—and maybe the only person not happy Elena's back. Not only is Al the first woman to hold this post in Owen Station, but she is up to her eyeballs in swirling conspiracy theories that are thwarting efforts to prevent wildfires during a record-breaking Southwest summer. The last thing she needs is somebody with Elena's profile telling ghost stories.

Elena's not too wild about the chief, either. No one can be that upbeat all the time and not be hiding something, right? But when Elena needs Al's help to solve a 70-year-old mystery and finally give her tortured family peace, sparks fly. Will it be enough to melt the ice between them and let love ignite?
