Halloween is fast approaching, and the small town of Brant Mills is in full-on Fall Festival mode, with everything from corn mazes to haunted houses, and tours of the supposedly haunted Brant Mills Public Library. Alina Miller dreads the coming spooky season. She's the town's librarian, and perfectly happy to sit among her books. However, the ghost tours are popular and an annual fundraiser. The library's board of directors wants to play up the legend of the heroic WWI soldier's ghost, and allow a high-profile paranormal investigator full access to the library. Alina can put up with facilitating the tours. But ghost hunters? She wants them nowhere near the library for one very special, very secret reason-even if her reluctance means risking her position. Benjamin Brant is the descendent of Brant Mills' founder. All he wants is to put his degrees in psychology and parapsychology to good use, investigating the ghost stories he grew up on. Ghosts are real. Ben knows it, he's seen them, and he can't help but wonder why the cute librarian is fighting so hard to keep him away. She's hiding something, but what could be worth possibly losing her job? Can he give up the one mystery he's always longed to solve for the sake of winning Alina's heart? And, if he does, will this be the end of his otherwise sterling reputation?
