Overview A modern-day Prince Charming might have just found Ms. Right. But what will happen when the clock strikes midnight? It’s the craziest scheme Lissa Wilkins could imagine: trying to hold on to her family’s beloved hotel by convincing Steve Jackson that the Madrona Inn is haunted. But if she thinks playing ghost would scare off the ruthless resort magnate, she better think again . . . especially when the plan goes awry and Lissa ends up in the handsome hunk’s all-too-willing arms. Steve is lying on his bed when a shapely pair of legs crashes through the ceiling. The damsel in distress dangles just above him, but when he boosts her up, she vanishes without letting him see her face. Fortunately, she leaves him with one tantalizing clue: a Birkenstock sandal. But while determined to find his mystery woman, Steve finds himself irresistibly attracted to Lissa, the old inn’s night manager. Has he finally found his princess? Or will the clock strike midnight, leaving him alone—and still yearning for the love he’s been looking for all his life?

An account of the California Gold Rush, discussing the people and events involved and the effect of that gold discovery upon the future of California and the nation.
