Genre: Fantasy Romance

Grief can do strange things sometimes, thinks Shay. But even though she is indeed grieving the loss of both of her parents within the last six months, she knows that this isn’t what she is experiencing when she feels the dead cold hands grip around her throat. But that isn’t the only thing strange that is happening around her. The big question is, why?

Shay came out to Hill City, North Dakota because she wanted a fresh start and a new life. Life in the big city of Chicago just held bad memories for her, of two failed romances she would rather forget and the loss of parents she bitterly misses. She isn’t sure why the badlands of North Dakota called to her, but when she arrived in Hill City and saw the Buckhorn Saloon, she knew that her inheritance had found a home. The people seemed really friendly, especially that really nice-looking realtor Cody that helped her find the place. But something or someone was acting strange in the saloon and what was worse they appeared to be ghosts.

When the first night brings Shay a ghostly visitor asking for help, she is more than relieved to find her handsome cowboy realtor at her door because someone told him they saw water pouring from her now bone-dry walkway. As Shay and Cody try to get to the bottom of the ghostly invasion, they begin to feel something build between them. The adventure of finding out just what happened around a hundred years ago to leave these spirits so restless is only part of the story, as a romance blossoms that will heal both their hearts.

This is a wonderful romance wrapped up in a ghost story that is both charming and thrilling at the same time. Cody is the kind of cowboy gentleman you wish there were more of in this world. He is the hero who opens doors for ladies and yet faces the fearful things in life head-on. He meets his perfect match in Shay, a big city gal who was meant to live in this quiet western town. Together they have adventures that twist and turn with each new clue, discover the romance they each thought they had lost forever and create a new life. I didn’t think a paranormal western romance was possible, but with A Haunted Twist of Fate author Stacey Coverstone has pulled it off with style.
