Jake Delaney has come to Rowanclere Castle trying to locate one of the few remaining copies of the Texas Declaration of Independence. He poses as a researcher wanting information about the castle. But when he is left along, Jake searches every nook and crannie looking for the historical document. What he finds are strange occurrences like swaying chandeliers, moving bread baskets, and strange noises. When a beautiful ghost visits him in the middle of the night, he wonders who is behind all of these tricks. Gillian Ross needs to make people believe the castle is haunted. They have a buyer who only wants a castle with a ghost. Gillian wants to make sure the word gets out that their castle is loaded with ghosts. She doesn't expect their new guest to see right through her disguise.

This is the follow-up to "Simmer All Night". The Delaney family is still searching for the Declaration. Jake just wants to find the document and get on with his life. With his sister married to his best friend and his mother reconciled with her father, Jake is no longer responsible for their well-being and will have time to travel the world. But falling in love with a Scottish "ghost" does not play into his plans. He loves that Gillian will go to extremes in order to see to her sister's future.

This story had some very funny moments and was much more entertaining than the previous book in the series. I loved the characters, including Jake's little dog, Scooter. My rating: 4 Stars.
