Book Description:
Ashlyn Montana had encountered ghosts her whole life, but none more charming or irresistible than Bob Abbott. From the moment the fatherly figure floated into her life, she knew she met a friend she could trust. Pressured by her family to marry young, Ashlyn takes Bob’s advice and goes on the run in disguise. But when he talks her into taking a job in Breaker Creek as a farm boy named Al, she becomes suspicious. Did her ghostly pal lead her to freedom, or entangle her into his past?
Hunter Abbott had no idea what he was getting into hiring the clueless and scrawny farm boy, Al. But he felt for the kid. There was a time he was once a lost boy looking for a place to belong, until his Uncle Bob took him under his wing. But when Hunter tries to help guide Al into a farmer it leads to a shocking discovery. His new hire is hiding an unbelievable secret. And Hunter is about to face a reality he never thought possible.
Can the two people Bob Abbot loves most, find love as they work to solve the mystery of his murder?
Excerpt Two
“Do you believe me?” she asked quietly.
He turned to look at her, needing to see her beauty and erase the ugliness that had just erupted in his life. “I do.”
In her golden green eyes, there was nothing but relief. She reached up and cupped his face in her hands, and before he could react, she had pressed a soft kiss on his lips. “Thank you,” she said, pulling back. “Thank you for believing me.”
He blinked hard, his heart hammering in his chest. She kissed him out of pure gratitude, and he wanted her to do it again. Only this time he would crush her to him, and never let go.
He forced his hands to his sides. Ashlyn had been through too much already. She was trying to help his uncle, despite her own predicament. It showed him that her heart was pure and wonderful. He had to focus on protecting that heart from his family. Instead of pursuing the feelings between them, he needed to push her towards starting her own life.
He took a breath and turned to her. “I do believe you, Ashlyn—”
“Call me, Ash,” she said, and then blushed, looking away. “I mean, if you want to. My brother always did.”
Her brother called her Ash, and now she was asking him to. It confirmed she felt those sparks between them too— sparks that were so damn hard to deny. “Ash,” he corrected. As soon as he said it, she gave him a smile so dazzling he could no longer think.

Interview with Susan Vaughn
Do your characters seem to hijack the story or do you feel like you have the reigns of the story?
The characters always hijack my story! I normally get a spark of inspiration and start writing it down with every intention of following a plotline. But then I start developing the characters, and they come alive and demand bigger parts and better storylines.
Convince us why you feel your book is a must read.
Love Detour is not your typical romance. Within its pages are psychic abilities, runaway brides, nagging ghosts, love in disguise, and plenty of laughter and heart. This book is guaranteed to take you on an adventure and make you fall in love.
Have you written any other books that are not published?
I am working on a contemporary romance series based in Michigan. The first book of the series is being published with Inkspell Publishing next summer. The other three books are finished but need to be fine-tuned.
Pen or type writer or computer?
Computer all the way! My penmanship is brutal.
Anything you would like to say to your readers and fans?
I have a special spot for Love Detour in my heart. The ghost in the book lost his only son in a tragic accident that was taken from a real-life family experience. My grandparents lost one of their children in the same way, and when the story gets retold in my family, it always breaks my heart. It also reminds me how precious life is.
