Rory Campbell is a professional ghost hunter. Her special ability puts ghosts at ease, making it easier for them to communicate with the living. But when she investigates the haunted MacGregor house in Winding Falls, North Carolina, she encounters a ghost unlike any other.

Lachlan MacGregor died 250 years ago, killed by his wife's lover. Since then he's been cursed to remain a ghost, wallowing in guilt over his wife's death. Can Rory's special powers help him overcome both the curse and his own self-hatred? Either way, both lose, because they've fallen in love, and whether Lachlan remains a ghost or goes on to his just reward, it seems they can never be together.

But miracles do happen...
