Summary

Michael Brooks' life took an unexpected direction when he found the Taylor Mansion, a two-story Colonial perfect for a Bed & Breakfast. An untenured college professor, he's suddenly also a successful entrepreneur. And best of all, he met sexy deputy Colin Jefferson and they hit it off in a big way. He's even made friends with the mansion's resident ghost.  
Deputy Colin Jefferson is a hometown boy who made good. As a member of the local police force, he serves the community he loves. He's heard tales about the Taylor Mansion ghost all his life. Now he's living there with Michael and knows the stories are true. There's a ghost with a penchant for voyeurism lurking in his bedroom.  
How the ghost came to live in at the B&B is a mystery Michael and Colin need to solve. It's the only way for their resident spirit to get justice and to find eternal rest. Until they can unearth the murderer, the ghost at the bed and breakfast is a permanent guest.

"You know his name is Colin, and are you kidding? Absolutely not. That would be an infringement of our privacy." 
Robin looked at me with a dismayed expression on his all-too-human face. "You think that pimping me as the friendly ghost here doesn't amount to the same thing? You didn't even bother to ask if I'd mind being exposed to public view. I'm at least entitled to something in the way of compensation." 
I thought he would be if he was alive, but he wasn't and that put me at a disadvantage in being able to understand him. I conceded the point. 
"Fine, but there must be something else that you'd like." 
"I'd like to change history and come back to life. I'd like to punish the bastards who took my life from me. Since neither of those things will ever happen, and I still have needs the same as any other man, I—" 
My mouth fell open. He'd never alluded to that before. 
"You do? Really? I had no idea. I thought…" Actually, I wasn't sure what I thought. 
"I admit I have my limitations. That's a given. Even so, I lost my life not my feelings." 
As much as I felt for him in such a predicament, I knew my partner. 
"Colin will never agree to you indulging your voyeuristic tendencies by watching his bare butt. And don't go all peeping Tom on the paying guests, either." 
Robin gave an offhand shrug and then grinned. "That's easily fixed. Don't tell him."

    The Duke of Laverdale is ambitious to be appointed Master of the Horse and the new 
Queen Adelaide is determined that behaviour at Court should be moral after the licentiousness of King George IV.
	The Duke therefore ends his affaire de coeur with the enchanting Lady Sybil Mersham and drops his ballet dancer mistress as well.
	Up to now he has been determined not to be married, but he now decides to become respectable and find a suitable bride as befits his standing.	
	As he has always avoided debutantes, he asks the Marquis of Coleburn, whom he has known since he was a boy, to help him.
	The Marquis is delighted and tells the Duke that he has the perfect wife for him in his beautiful daughter Oleta, who would have been a debutante by now but for family mourning.
	The Duke arranges to visit the Marquis, who returns home to tell his daughter that she is a very lucky girl.
	Oleta, however, is horrified at the idea of marrying a man she has never seen and who obviously cannot be in love with her.  She is very romantic and loves the country especially the woods, which have a magical influence on her and she talks to them when she rides through them on her beloved horse, Apollo.
	When the Marquis tells her that she cannot refuse the Duke, even if he has to drag her to the altar, Oleta runs away to her old Nanny in Norfolk, having no idea of the dangers she might face on the journey.
	When the Duke arrives to stay with the Marquis, he is appalled to learn that, because she is afraid of him, Oleta has ridden off on her own.  He then follows her as he has a much faster horse than anyone else.
	How the Duke finds Oleta in a dangerous predicament and how he saves her.
	How, not knowing who he is, she is impressed by his intelligence, his kindness and his bravery.
	And how, when they finally escape from horse-thieves, he takes her to a place where they can be alone and how there they can both dream the same dream of love, is all told in this thrilling romance by BARBARA CARTLAND.
