Arden's Touch has more than a few of those wonderful 'moments'. From the first meeting of the protagonists (they hate each other, naturally) to the red hot scene in the wonderful haven hidden away on the hero's ranch, to the mysterious and spell-binding events going on in and about the manor involving ghosts that go bump (and do a few other things) this is a great read! Beth Henderson has a wry sense of humor and an ability to catch the reader off-guard with unexpected twists. Buy this and her other novels if you like romance with a plot that keeps you engaged and, at times, spell-bound.
