The kitchen has always been Hannah's happy place, but as she prepares to compete for prize money any aspiring baker would drool over, she notices something weird. Weird even for a culinary student who still talks to the ghost of her dead roommate. As competitors are eliminated through illness and mysterious deaths, the contestant list is starting to look like a hit list—and she's on it. It figures the only cop she can trust is the one who investigated her roommate's death. An ill-mannered detective with an overly suspicious mind. Neil Garrett is haunted by a meddlesome ghost that inhabits his new/old fixer-upper, and by the memory Hannah's hot curves, fiery curls, and equally fiery temper. No one knows better than he what it costs her to ask for his help, and this time he won't let her down. She's the only woman he's ever wanted for his own...she could also be the next target of a madman with a taste for murder.
