Things That Go Bump in the Night #love_detour #new_release

Haunted houses are fun when you are a kid. Going through the scary dark rooms only to have something jump out at you. However, those are safe places. No one is going to get really hurt. No one is going to carry you away. But what about a real haunted place?

Ghosts are believed to be people who linger rather than head into the afterlife. They either have something to finish or their deaths were so traumatic that their emotions force them to repeat the incident of their death over and over again. 

But what about if the ghost was someone only you could see? And he was someone you were friends with in life? Would you be scared? Would you listen to his advice? 

In Susan V. Vaughn's book, Love Detour, Ashlyn not only can see a ghost but he helps her escape an arranged marriage. But Bob has an ulterior motive....

BLURB:
Life can change in the most unexpected ways.
 
Ashlyn Montana had encountered ghosts her whole life, but none more charming or irresistible than Bob Abbott. From the moment the fatherly figure floated into her life, she knew she met a friend she could trust. Pressured by her family to marry young, Ashlyn takes Bob’s advice and goes on the run in disguise. But when he talks her into taking a job in Breaker Creek as a farm boy named Al, she becomes suspicious. Did her ghostly pal lead her to freedom, or entangle her into his past?
 
Hunter Abbott had no idea what he was getting into hiring the clueless and scrawny farm boy, Al. But he felt for the kid. There was a time he was once a lost boy looking for a place to belong, until his Uncle Bob took him under his wing. But when Hunter tries to help guide Al into a farmer it leads to a shocking discovery. His new hire is hiding an unbelievable secret. And Hunter is about to face a reality he never thought possible.

Can the two people Bob Abbot loves most, find love as they work to solve the mystery of his murder?
 
EXCERPT:
“Man it's chilly in here,” Hunter said suddenly, walking over to shut the window. “Must be a cold front coming in.”

“It is not a cold front,” she told him, standing up with renewed confidence. Bob was here. She wasn’t alone. She could convince Hunter she was telling the truth.

He gave her a strange look. “How do you know?”

“Because Bob is here,” she announced. “And when Bob is nearby it gets colder.”

Hunter stared back at her, his expression unreadable. “Don’t lie to me, Ashlyn. It will only make everything between us worse.”

“I’m not lying.” She reached out and ran her hand up his arm, feeling his goose bumps. “See how cold you are? That’s because your uncle is standing right here.” She gestured to the left of them with her free hand. “Right in this room. 

He took a step away from her touch and shook his head. “I don’t believe you.”

She lifted her chin, pretending his retreat didn’t hurt. “Then I’ll prove he’s here.”

“How are you going to do that?” His eyes darted to the left of them, looking spooked. Hunter said he didn’t believe her, but his nerves were visible. 

“Ask me something only Bob would know,” she challenged, looking him in the eye. “And I will tell you his answer.”
