Now, time is against her as the thieves chase her, determined to keep her silent about everything she saw, and she must turn to the ghost for help. With Colton at her side, will she be able to handle everything the thieves throw her way, and solve the mystery of what they are really after, as well as the mystery of the cowboy ghost in her home, or will she lose her life in the efforts of making sense of her new home, and new town.
