Synopsis (Goodreads):
With its opulent casinos and hotels, the desert city of Illusion Town is totally unique—and will take you on a thrill ride you’ll never forget.

Hannah West isn’t the first woman to wake up in Illusion Town married to a man she barely knows, but she has no memory of the ceremony at all. For that matter, neither does Elias Coppersmith, her new husband. All either can remember is that they were on the run…

With Hannah’s dubious background and shaky para-psych profile, she could have done much worse. The cooly competent mining heir arouses her curiosity—as well as other parts of her mind and body. And even her dust bunny likes him.

But a honeymoon spent retracing their footsteps leads Hannah and Elias into the twisting underground catacombs, where secrets from both their pasts will come to light—and where the energy of their clashing auras will grow hot enough to burn…
Thoughts on Illusion Town: MAN, I enjoy these ghost hunters and Harmony and all the weirdness these characters get tangled up in. While neither Elias or Hannah are ghost hunters themselves, their talents aren't run of the mill, either.

Hannah's dreamwalking talent and ability to find things has put her on the radar of a few unsavory individuals. Waking up married to Elias with no memory of how they ended up in their predicament, has her a wee bit on edge already. Throw in a few abduction attempts, an irritating doctor who doesn't know when to cut his losses, and a mysterious legacy and Hannah has a lot on her plate.

As for Elias, he's an engineer who's rather logically minded and he's kind of all in with the whole Hannah situation from the beginning. As they unravel why they got married on the fly and who's after them, his like for Hannah deepens. He admires her abilities and her bravery and isn't exactly thrilled when Hannah keeps insisting their marriage is temporary only.

A little danger, a lot of steam, a town that refuses to abandon one of its own, and a fantastic find in the catacombs. Like I said, I enjoy these ghost hunters and all the wildness they encounter in the underground of Harmony!
