Realtor Alison "Sunnie" Clark is a religious person who lives by the golden rule. In spite of having a boyfriend, three of her best pals are males: mystery writer Rice Jordan, injured professional football player Franklin "Coach" Brass, and playboy Geffen Cage. Still she is concerned that the trio spends their time chasing women then finding the Lord.

Sunnie sells the three womanizers a Beverly Hills home on the condition they attend church. They have no plan to sing God's praise, but agree to Sunnie's stipulation because a few hours a week is a cheap price to play to be able to convert the former brothel into an elite bed and breakfast and gala event hosting facility.

However, Sunnie, who has a knack for detecting evil spirits, realizes that the house is filled with malevolence. Vixx, a nymphomaniac she-devil, abetted by Crиp the ghoul, plans to destroy the men. She especially will use her abilities to morph into their fantasy women. Only Sunnie stands in her way of capturing the hearts and souls of these non-believing males.

When Sunni is not preaching fans will appreciate this gender bending haunted house tale in which evil vs. good battle for the souls of three philandering males. The story line for the most part is action-packed though the heroine can get long winded when she goes off on one of her sermons. Still there is plenty of romance between Sunnie and read the book, but the key relationship of this supernatural tale is between the warrior women Sunnie and Vixx with the prizes being three hunks.
