“Here, sweetie. Just one, okay?” He grinned at Hank. “He can have two because he’s big. Before you ask.”

She huffed out a breath, but he could tell she was going to accept that.

“So you’ll do it?” Hank asked, rising to get Abby a sippy cup of milk out of the fridge.

“Yes. I’ll let them come film. But I want final approval on any footage.”

“Of course. That’s why I chose this show. They have an incredibly good contract for the haunted location. No way are you going to get screwed over or made to look like a harpy.”

“What a harpy?” Abby asked.

“A mythical creature with the head of a person and the body of a bird,” Sebastian told her.

“Ew!”

Hank chuckled, but Hank’s dark eyes never left him, that stare boring into him.

“Yes! I’ll do it.” Hank could be so cheerfully relentless, so it was easier to just agree now.

“Excellent.” Hank poured himself another cup of tea and then grabbed his cookies. “I’ll make the arrangements.”

“Thanks, Hank. I—appreciate it.”

He could only hope that having another ghost hunter here like he had when Colton had come didn’t end up biting him in the ass.

Chapter

Two

“Okay, so the crew is going to fly into Denver with all the gear and drive over, but I flew into Montrose so I could meet with the homeowner first.”

And also because he couldn’t sit in a damn van for that many hours. The planes were bad enough, but there he could get first class or exit row. Taking the damn van on a six-hour jaunt with all the equipment and the whole crew…

No.

Colton Maxwell wasn’t too good for that shit or anything, but he was definitely too torn up. As it was, his leg was shaking and that was with the cruise control on most of the way.

“You should have let me get you a driver,” Gent said, his voice stern. His silent partner believed in convenience and expediency. And he was willing to toss money at it.

“Nah. The guys can drive once they get here. You know how much Law loves mountain driving.”

“Well, he is from Leadville.”

“Right?” Colton chuckled. “Anyway, I’ll check in once I get to the lodge, okay?”

“You’d better. Bye.”

And Gent hung up on him. Like normal.

He hadn’t thought he would ever make it back to Hot Springs Junction, but the situation was too good to pass up.

He knew for a fact that this little house was actually haunted. He’d seen it with his own eyes. So, they would be able to put on a good show.

And then there was Sebastian.

Sebastian, who he had never been able to get over. Who he’d tried to find a reason to hate, but he just couldn’t. So he was going to get the damn omega out of his system once and for all. He was going to find out why Sebastian had never once tried to call, to see what had happened to Colton when he hadn’t come back like he’d promised.

Or why he’d never answered Colton’s calls…
