The Beginning:

"The minute he walked through that door, Zach Slade's career, the one he loved, was over."

Page 56:

"My name, said the ghost, is Joseph Albert Slade, but his expression turned softer, sorrowful. My lovely wife never bore child; I never fathered one.

So whose career is over? Who is the ghost? I don't know yet but I do know where to find out. The answer is in Ghost Seer by Robin D. Owens. This is book one in a new series by Robin. I have been disappointed in several of her recent books but have high hopes for this one.

From Goodreads:

There’s just something about Clare. Apart from the ghosts…...

When her eccentric aunt passes away, no-nonsense accountant Clare Cermac inherits more than just a small fortune. She receives the gift of communicating with ghosts. While Clare may not believe in spirits, it’s hard to overlook the shadowy talking dog appearing on her bed or spectral cowboys tipping their hats to her in the streets of Denver. And when she locks eyes with sexy—and living—Zach Slade, there’s certainly no ignoring him either.

A former deputy sheriff, Zach is leaving a painful past behind in Montana for a new life in Denver as a private investigator, a job that has him crossing paths with beautiful Clare. Not that she minds. After the restless ghost of a Wild West gunman demands her assistance, Clare finds herself needing Zach more and more—and not just for help.
