A fantastic novel - Two thumbs up!!

Marcus Van Buren and Daisy Malone have gotten married (from SCANDALOUS SPIRITS) and are off on their honeymoon. Still wanting to help his deceased relatives cross over and thus vacate his mansion, Marcus has hired Thaddeus Bookman, a professional when it comes to helping ghosts cross over, to get rid of them. However when Izzy scares one of the construction workers with her ghostly shenanigans, its Rufus Sinclair that has to come out to Atlantic City and cool down the spooked workers to keep the events out of the press.Rufus hates dealing with the ghostly Van Buren family, and had hoped to never have to return to the mansion. However, when he arrives at the crumbling house, Bookman informs him that he will need to deal with Izzy seeing as she has a crush on Rufus. That and several trunks were found (thanks to the construction workers accidentally destroying a wall) that she won't let him see all the contents of. In the trunk was a picture of a man that looked a lot like Rufus, standing with pilot and friend of Izzy, Grace LaRue. Certain that the picture might be a key to helping Izzy cross over, Bookman convinces Rufus to try and talk to her, and gets Rufus blown out the tower window because of Izzy's ghostly pain.Waking up in the bushes Rufus comes face to car grill of a living, very not-a-ghost Izzy of 1923 and Grace LaRue. Claiming amnesia, Rufus is named Julius Caesar by Izzy and Ace by Grace. For Rufus, stuck in the roaring twenties with speakeasies and the sexual liberation should have been fabulous. However, he suddenly finds himself physically attracted to good girl Grace, with a love sick Izzy always on his heals. Refusing to believe he is the drifter in Bookmans' photo, Rufus tries to stay "low" and not change history. But how can he figure out what is preventing Izzy from crossing over when he desperately wants to stay in 1923 and be a part of Graces life?CB Scott has written another fantastic novel! I loved Rufus as a character in the first novel so am overjoyed he has his own story. Through Rufus, we get to experience a police raid on the speakeasy the siblings James and Izzy took too as well as the adrenaline rush of wing walking. Rufus is a man that lives to help others and therefore doesn't have his own goals. He is afraid of relationships that have any stability and while enjoys flying it's more a means to an end rather than done for pleasure. When he meets no nonsense Grace who doesn't need a man in her life, except as a business partner...she makes him think about things he would rather not. Raised by her grandfather, Grace has followed her dreams. She's a daredevil stunt pilot that has been wronged by her previous partner. While she knows she doesn't want to marry her childhood friend Mick, she can't figure out the attraction she feels for Rufus ignited by a kiss.Izzy is a lonely self-centered woman who hides behind her parting happy facade. While she is desperately trying to get Grace to marry Mick, it now s
