BLURB:
In 1920s Scotland, even ghosts wear plaid.
Scotland, 1928
Dr. Ainsley Graham is cultivating a reputation as an eccentric.
Two years ago, he catastrophically ended his academic career by publicly claiming to talk to ghosts. When Joachim Cockburn, a WWI veteran studying the power of delusional thinking, arrives at his door, Ainsley quickly catalogues him as yet another tiresome Englishman determined to mock his life’s work.
But Joachim is tenacious and openhearted, and Ainsley’s intrigued despite himself. He agrees to motor his handsome new friend around to Scotland’s most unmistakable hauntings. If he can convince Joachim, Ainsley might be able to win back his good name and then some. He knows he’s not crazy—he just needs someone else to know it, too.
Joachim is one thesis away from realizing his dream of becoming a psychology professor, and he’s not going to let anyone stop him, not even an enchanting ginger with a penchant for tartan and lewd jokes. But as the two travel across Scotland’s lovely—and definitely, definitely haunted—landscape, Joachim’s resolve starts to melt. And he’s beginning to think that an empty teaching post without the charming Dr. Graham would make a very poor consolation prize indeed…

Inside, Xavier is jaded and spoiled. He’s used to having his way with whoever he chooses. No one has ever told him no. That’s why he was beyond sick of everything before Dean came along. Dean isn’t like anyone else. He ignores Xavier unless Xavier forces Dean to look his way. Xavier is intrigued. He can’t stay away. It’s too bad Dean keeps running from him.

In fact, he has a hard time not staring at Xavier all the time like a lunatic. The thing is, Dean isn’t interested in getting crushed by some guy way out of his league. It’s obvious Xavier is only looking for a distraction. It’s laughable to think they could end up together. Until they spend one magical night together, that is.
After a single night in heaven, Dean runs for the hills, leaving Xavier baffled. Now, Xavier has to do something he’s never done before. He has to do the chasing if he hopes to win Dean.
