Hannah’s list: Ghosts are cold to the touch.
Being tied up isn’t much fun. And danger is a sure-fire prescription for
amazing sex!
When Hannah Campbell attends a memorial service for the neurosurgeon who
once saved her life, the last thing she expects is a lightning strike that
knocks her out cold and blasts her lungs full of the departed’s ashes.
Things only get weirder when she wakes up to find the deceased standing over
her hospital bed, insisting she help him track down the terrorists who blew
up his plane.
Professor Takeshi Shimodo doesn’t know what to believe when smart-mouthed
Hannah appears on his doorstep, claiming to be haunted by the ghost of his
best friend. Yet she exhibits some extraordinary psychic abilities. And her
determination to find justice for the crash victims, in spite of her fragile
health, touches his heart.
Takeshi’s acupressure techniques are meant to calm Hannah’s erratic
heartbeat, but the longer they are together, the more his magic fingers have
the opposite effect. Soon, their passion flares hotter than any lightning
strike.
But now the terrorist they seek is hunting them. And the FBI is suspicious
Hannah knows just a little too much.
Without some “spiritual” help, they haven’t a ghost of a chance.
Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic
language and violence.

Defying any easy categorizing, "Shaking off the Dust"
offers an unusual and unique story line, powerful, occasionally overwhelming
emotions, and and a mystery wrapped up inside it all. Even though the
suspense will grab you, there are many light moments, and humorous dialogue
is to be found throughout.
Miss Hannah Campbell's day starts out in sad retrospective, yet she is swept
along an unpredictable course at once. Whether you believe in ghosts or not,
the appearance of a certain ghost here is - strangely- plausible, and
carried off very well by Samuels.
The array of emotions Hannah feels is heightened by confusion, her injury,
and pain; and that's just the start! Because this ghost is both puzzled and
demanding, and Hannah has a certain obligation to him, when you get right
down to it. That obligation will set her on the trail of murderers, perhaps
even terrorists. She won't be alone, although Dr. Shimodo might be more of a
distraction than a help!
The delicious Shimodo can't claim all her attention, as Tom, the ghost never
lets up. He is even to be found sleeping on the foot of her bed. Hannah and
Shimodo's desperate efforts lead them to uncover an unspeakable plot, at
great danger to themselves. Along the way, they really discover one another.
Never mind sexual tension - the actual sex scenes make this one steamy
thriller. Well written and continually engaging!
