How well do you know the lover in your bed?

It was the hottest hookup of her life. When Tess Barrett spent the night in the arms of the too sexy to be real stranger, she knew she was walking on the wild side. Sex with James Smith was the best EVER. How was she supposed to walk away from that? From him? So…she didn’t. They planned secret dates. More body-melting hookups. The white-hot sex should have been enough.

So why does she start wanting more?

But they have rules. She has rules. No emotions. No ties. She has a past that is dark and twisted, and she’s worked hard to become a new person. She’s a doctor now. Respected. Controlled. Except…there is no control when she’s around James.

A bad guy…might be falling for the good girl.

James can’t keep his hands off his sexy little doctor. She’s buttoned down for everyone else but goes absolutely wild for him. Sure, she doesn’t know his history. Doesn’t know that the man she lets touch every inch of her body used to spend his days working for Uncle Sam and doing some seriously dirty deeds. What she doesn’t know can’t hurt her, right? And if she ever did learn the truth about him, he knew it would terrify his sweet doc right to her core. Terror would make her run. He doesn’t want her running. He just wants her in his bed.

But then…something happens. Danger sneaks up on Tess. She needs help—a very particular expertise and protective skill set. She needs someone lethal and strong…and James is just the man for the job. After all, lethal is his middle name.

Hello, dangerous times.

When James steps in, Tess doesn’t know if she should be grateful or scared to death. Because her gorgeous lover? Turns out he has plenty of mad and dangerous skills. She’s been hooking up with a superhero or…maybe a super villain. It’s sort of hard to tell the difference.

For the moment, she’s going to go with feeling grateful…but as she learns all of his secrets, Tess wonders what will happen next between them. Will they crash and burn? Burn, baby, burn. Or maybe, just maybe, they’ll actually have a GHOST OF A CHANCE at getting a happily ever after ending.

REVIEW: GHOST OF A CHANCE is the seventh instalment in Cynthia Eden’s contemporary, adult WILDE WAYS erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women of Wilde Ways security. This is former government assassin James ‘Ghost’ Smith, and ER physician Tess Barrett’s story line. GHOST OF A CHANCE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.

Told from several third person perspectives including James and Tess GHOST OF A CHANCE follows the building relationship between former US government assassin James ‘Ghost’ Smith, and ER physician Tess Barrett. A night out with friends finds Tess Barrett in the arms of a stranger, a stranger of who she cannot get out of her mind but a home invasion leaves Tess angry and scared, pushing our heroine towards the man with whom she would fall in love. Enter former US assassin James ‘Ghost’ Smith. What ensues is the building but reluctant relationship between Tess and James, and the potential fall-out as one or both are targeted by demons of the past.

Tess Barrett keeps secrets her tormented past. Homeless and alone, our heroine finds herself facing a nightmare only to discover that the nightmare continues for the rest of her life. James Smith knows that the truth about his past will destroy any hopes of a relationship with Dr. Tess Barrett, but it is his past that is trying to destroy them all.

The relationship between Tess and James begins as an almost one-night stand. James is desperate to uncover the truth about Dr. Tess Barrett but in doing so discovers that all is not well in her well-ordered life. Keeping Tess safe and protected will pull the Wilde Ways Security Team into his life but James battles between head and heart when it comes to protecting the woman he loves.The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to several of the Wilde Ways Security team members: Wesley Cade, Linc Dalton and Blair Kincaid, as well as doctors Devin Goddard, Latonya Wilson, and nurse Marilyn Montgomery; James’ assistant Barnes. The requisite evil has many faces. Linc and Blair’s story is next in Crossing the Line.

GHOST OF A CHANCE is a story of betrayal, vengeance, acceptance and love. The premise is intriguing and engaging; the characters are colorful and energetic; the romance is passionate and seductive. GHOST OF A CHANCE is another wonderful addition to Cynthia Eden’s WILDE WAYS romantic suspense series.

True crime writer Tracy Gomez is unsure of what to make of the unusual invitation from New York City attorney Peter Angelo: A one million dollar prize to anyone who can solve the mystery of three deaths which had occurred nearly eighty years earlier. Tracy desperately needs the money to fix up the old inn she’s just inherited and solving the crime will also provide welcome publicity to help her sagging writing career. But accepting the invitation brings unexpected challenges, like spectral help during a séance and Tracy’s attraction to the sexy attorney monitoring the contest. Does Tracy only have a ghost of a chance to discover the secrets of the past or can she win a prize far better than a million dollars?

Peter Angelo’s father is dying and has only one last wish: To find out if he is related to State Senator Francis “Skippy” Ryan. Eighty years earlier, Skippy was accused of murdering his wife and young daughter and then killing himself, but Peter’s father does not believe that’s what really happened on that long ago night and he wants to know the truth about his heritage.

To honor his father’s wishes, Peter assembles a cast of specialists to discover the truth about Skippy and the last night of his life. But Peter hadn’t gambled on also discovering love during the extraordinary occurrences during the investigations.
