Ghosts of the Heart

About the Book

Tarin MacGyver is an editor with a Denver newspaper who works remotely from her home alongside Ledge Lake in the mountains of northern Colorado. Jonathan Parker is the disenchanted lead singer of a popular rock band from California—a group that is about to implode. Their worlds could not be more different. But when they collide by chance and Jon rescues Tarin during a bungled burglary, their lives become intertwined. Unfortunately, their blossoming relationship is jeopardized by Jon’s diabolical business manager, and the menacing stalker who continues to loom in the background haunting Tarin’s once tranquil lakeside existence. In their quest to build a future together, Jon and Tarin find themselves facing deception, betrayal, murder, and kidnapping, not to mention a mountain blizzard that threatens both their lives. Ghosts of the Heart weaves together a tale of love and discovery with an element of deception and danger acting as a constant backdrop.
