Kindred Spirits — Sarah Temple

Terrified of being abandoned again, Tara Alladyce took precautions: never let anyone too close. Yet dangerously attractive, intensely sensual Ian Craddock got under her skin and into her heart -- way too close! -- and Tara fled without a trace.

Far away, she plotted her retreat from emotional upheaval. But the troublesome past refused to stay buried. Even her new bungalow felt...haunted, as if some seductive, rebellious phantom were enticing her into an ethereal fling. Then flesh-and-blood Ian tracked her down, passionately demanding another chance -- to hold her, to pleasure her, to blanket her fears with masculine heat. Which way lay danger? Where was safety? And which, if either, might be a kindred spirit beckoning?
