Someone has put a curse on notorious bootlegger Winter Magnusson. First he became a magnet for ghosts wandering around San Francisco. Now someone has poisoned him. He is sent to Aida Parker for help. Aida is a spirit medium who has a stage show in Chinatown. She banishes the ghost who is following him and assists in the removal of the poison. When Winter again has a ghost attack him, he and Aida work to discover who put the curse on him.

This is the first book I've read by this author, but definitely not the last. This is the first book in a trilogy set in 1920's San Francisco. I loved the setting. It was so nice to read a historical romance set outside of the Regency era. The paranormal story is fun. No one knew who cursed Winter or why anyone would want to. Did it have to do with his line of work? Was it something to do with his late wife? Finally, the characters in this story are fun. I loved Winter and Aida. They were very romantic. I also liked the other characters in this book and look forward to their story. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
