Marla and Dalton’s honeymoon at an Arizona dude ranch veers from dangerous to downright deadly faster than a speeding horse. With her husband’s uncle—the resort owner—on the suspect list for murder, Marla determines to prove his innocence. She hopes her trust isn’t misplaced, especially when she learns Dalton’s relatives have secrets they’d rather keep buried. With her new family in jeopardy, she’d better saddle up, rein in the clues, and find the killer before she becomes the next spirit inhabiting the nearby ghost town.
