Book Description:
Toni Fraser and her friends think they've hit on the ultimate moneymaking plan. Buy an ancient run-down Scottish castle. Turn it into a tourist destination. Sweep visitors into a reenactment that combines fact and fiction, complete with local history, murder and an imaginary laird named Bruce MacNiall.

But when the castle's actual owner-a tall, dark and formidable Scot who shares the fictional laird's name - comes charging in, Toni is shocked. How is it possible he even exists? Toni invented Bruce MacNiall for the performance...yet every particle of his being is eerily familiar.

Soon the group is drawn into a real-life murder mystery; young women are being killed, their bodies dumped nearby. And Toni is having sinister lifelike dreams in which she sees through the eyes of the killer - dreams that suggest a connection to Laire MacNiall. Bruce claims he wants to help catch the murderer. But can Toni trust him...especially when his ghostly double wanders the forest in the black of night?

This is my first Heather Graham book, and I really liked it. It is one of those books that you don't want to put down [I read it in one day!]and the ending was a surprise. I will definitely be reading more of this author's books.

Six friends rent an old scotish castle to hold reenactment tours for tourists, then discover they had been had, they rented a castle that wasn't for rent, murders were hapening and the ghost of the original laird of the castle appears to help solve the crime, clear his name and ensure his wife is put to rest beside him. A cute story with some romance, paranormal activities, murder mystery and fun.

Another great Heather Graham. This one had me guessing until the very end. Toni Frasier is once again having visions of murder. Visions she thought she had "turned off" in childhood. Add that she is seeing the ghost of the ancient Laird of the castle and she's spooked. She and her friends thought they had a rent-to-own lease on the ancient Scottish castle, but when the current Laird turns up, they find they have been duped and their life savings is gone. Don't want to give too much away - there are lots of twists and turns. REALLY enjoyed it!
