Silent Partner - by Sharon Sala (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Homicide cop Sloane Taylor wakes up from a near death experience with the ability to see and hear spirits. She goes home to find a whole host of cold cases waiting to be solved, a house full of ghosts who want to help, and the man she loves supporting all her endeavors. When homicide detective Sloane Taylor is shot twice in an assassination attempt, she dies on the operating table--twice. When she wakes, she has a new gift: she can see and hear the dead. Among the spirits waiting for her is Finn Murphy, the only man she ever loved. Finn was murdered fifteen years ago and Sloane knows she'll never love again. She's thrown herself into her work and is as contented as she is able to be, just knowing she's doing good in the world. Besides, the assassination attempt has left her with PTSD so she knows she wouldn't be a good partner for someone anyway.

Then Sloane inherits a spooky old mansion in Tulsa, along with her uncle's fortune. She moves to Tulsa to make a new start and encounters Raphael "Rafe" Dougray, her uncle's bodyguard. Rafe has loved Sloane since the night he held her while she grieved Finn. Now he's determined to protect her, and Sloane begins to wonder if a future with him is possible.

Sloane also discovers that the house is full of ghosts and they are tirelessly demanding justice both for themselves and for a victim murdered in the house more recently. With Rafe at her side, and the ghosts prodding her forward on every side, Sloane risks everything to bring the killers to justice. As danger closes in, she must confront the darkness of her past as well as the mysteries around her--and find the courage to live, love, and begin again.
