Determined to create a new life for herself, Charlotte has her own law practice, moved in with her father, and is falling in love with a man who undoubtedly will crush her heart. The pain might be worth it. Her spirit friends have shielded her from fire and bullets, but will they save her from herself?

So many haunted decisions of the heart have seemingly placed lives in jeopardy. It makes Charlotte wonder if her family is cursed.

Or is there a reason for every crisis? Charlotte is determined to solve the mysteries and have the love she's always wanted.

When you take a chance on love, how much will it cost you? Charlotte may just discover she'll gain more than she'll lose. The judge's youngest daughter is on a dangerous path, but one that might give her a life she never could have dreamed would be possible.
