    About this ebook

    It's Christmas, and an invitation to a party is too tempting for Wade and Jason to pass up. When The Running Scared Paranormal Research crew realize it's not just a party but a gathering of all the paranormal investigators in the area, they're suspicious but excited to meet others in their same business. A mystery, a ghost, and a love story play out for them through the evening on board the riverboat docked in Old Sacramento where the party is held.
    After the party, Wade and Jason decide to take a big step in their relationship. One they've both wanted for years, but never seemed to find the perfect time for. In a spur of the moment decision, they decide to go for it, and even a snowstorm won't stop them from getting married. With the help of all-wheel drive, Santa, and a ghost, they'll get their happy ending. #FriendsToLovers #Ghosts #Ghosthunters #PNR #MMRomance

      Chapter One

      Wade

      How many people will be there? Jason asked as we walked into the house.

      We’d received invitations to a Christmas party a few weeks ago. At first I thought it was a joke. The party was an invitation only, black-tie event held every year—one I’d only dreamed of being invited to. But then I found out everyone we knew in the ghost hunting community of Sacramento had been invited. I’m not sure, it’s on the Spirit of Sacramento, and I know it’s rented out for the evening, I explained as I hung the tuxedo I’d rented for the party. It shouldn’t be too many people; the boat’s not that big. The Spirit of Sacramento was a refurbished paddle-wheeler that was permanently docked in Old Town. It was more a floating restaurant than a boat, but it was popular for parties, and it wasn’t easy to get an invitation.

      Well, at least I get to enjoy seeing my man looking hot in a tux all night, Jason said as he pulled me close.

      Oh god, you guys, please, Jimbo said, and covered his eyes as he walked right into the house without knocking.

      You know, this wouldn’t happen if you knocked first like normal people do, I said, and kissed Jason’s lips with a loud smack.

      Yeah but then you wouldn’t know it was me, he said and walked past us into the kitchen and opened the door to the refrigerator.

      Don’t you know everything that’s in there by now? Jason asked, and Jimbo met his eyes over the top of the door.

      Just checking to see if there’s anything I need to bring the next time I stop by, Jimbo said, and focused on the interior of the fridge again.

      Where’s Dean? Jason asked and pushed past Jimbo to grab a beer.

      He’s—

      James, you know we’re supposed to be picking up our tuxes, what are you doing? Dean asked as he walked in the front door.

      Do any of our friends knock before they come in? Jason asked, and Dean rolled his eyes.

      Yeah, sorry. Jimbo rubbed the back of his head. Dean stood right in front of him, hand on his hip looking as in charge as he usually did. I was in the area and thought I’d stop by and—

      Check their fridge? Dean asked, and grinned.

      Sorry, you know I can’t resist coming by to give Jason a hard time. Jimbo raised his eyebrows and lowered his chin in Jason’s direction before softening his expression to face Dean.

      Well, are you done now? Dean asked.

      Pretty much. Do you guys already have your suits? Jimbo immediately tried once again to get Dean’s attention away from him.

      Yeah, we just picked them up. I’m excited about the party. You know everyone who has anything to do with paranormal around Sacramento will be there. Jimbo looked at me like I’d grown three heads, but Dean shoved past him, his eyes wide with excitement.

      Oh, I didn’t know that. I thought it was just a few ghost hunting groups. Dean stood in front of Jimbo as he spoke.

      No, it’s urban explorers, psychics, pretty much anyone who has anything to do with the supernatural. It should be an interesting evening.

      Yeah, sounds great, Jimbo mumbled, making Dean widen his eyes before rolling them.

      It’ll be fine, James. There’re so many people you know in that community I would think it would be fun for you to spend a night with them.

      Oh sure, can’t wait to spend the night on a haunted riverboat filled with people who have all been touched by the spirit world. Did any of you even think that just your mere presence, and the combined energies of everyone in one place, would put a target on you from the veil? He looked at each of us and crossed his arms, reminding me of a father looking at his kids with disappointment after one more prank they’d pulled. Shit can get bad real fast and being on the water will amplify it even more. Did you know that?

      It’ll be fine. Between the four of us we’re more than capable of dealing with any spirits who think it’s a good idea to mess with us. You’d think word would spread through the spirit world to avoid us, Jason said and bumped me with his hip.

      Jason knew a lot about the spirit world, but he hadn’t experienced it the way some of us had. Jimbo’s eyes locked on mine, and I knew he was thinking the same thing I was. Neither of us wanted a repeat of what had happened at the last place, or the place before that. I didn’t want any of us to be in danger, so I knew exactly what we needed to do.

      We’ll need to talk to Janis. She’ll know what we need to do to stay safe. I mean, just in case. I don’t really think anything will happen while we’re there, but it doesn’t hurt to be sure.

      "I want to say
