In Seattle, Washington, Case Lambert stops at Megan Barrows' store, Antique Fancies, giving the owner palpitations of the heart. A realtor who restores old houses before selling them, he does not want to buy any of her items that only contain happy memories except her services to rid his new purchase of an apparent ghost; though first he tests her with his family heirloom, a watch owned by his doting grandmother. Megan, having almost lost her soul during her ghostbusting days, passes the test easily but refuses to intervene, especially when he mentions parapsychologist Eric Ramsay recommended her. Megan's best friend Tracie Thomas accepts the job for her at an exorbitant fee, dinner with his cute butt.

He already lives in the mansion although it is not renovated and has two reasons for wanting her to stay there with him. First, he is very attracted to her and second, though a skeptic, he is taking no chances that ghosts share his home. She quickly concludes he has several ghosts residing there, including a ghost who has the hots for the hunk almost as much as Megan wants him. Of course the Smithson sister spirits have other plans with Eric as their milieu, but no one can prevent Megan and Case from falling in love.

A BABE IN GHOSTLAND is a fun, paranormal romance, starring a likable lead duet who fall in instant lust even before the first ghost appears. The storyline is fast-paced as Megan's rival is from the beyond. Though the tale is somewhat too romantic fantasy form, sub-genre readers will enjoy Lisa Cach's fascinating tale of ghosts trying to prevent a mortal romance.
