A grumpy bachelor, a pushy ghost, a séance to remember.
Jasper Steele would rather face any ghost than attend a matchmaking séance, but when his mother insists, he’s stuck with Eloise Carterprice—a ghost with a plan. Sparks fly, but not in the way he expected.
While Edith remained unconscious, a white, translucent fog emanated from her body. The fog took her shape, looking more and more like Edith curled on the table, docile as a sleeping kitten. The fog was Edith, yet not.
Edith sighed in her sleep, whereas the translucent vision raised her
head and stretched her arms. Dressed in a pale lavender, her eyes locked on Jasper.
“Eloise?” he breathed.
The ghostly Eloise scrambled across the table, kicking aside her skirts and not caring that she crawled through her sister Edith to reach Jasper, who sat appalled and terrified and annoyed that he was once again interacting with ghosts. He really needed to find new acquaintances.
“Jasper, you’ll help me. I know you will!” Eloise said. She swooped down, kissing him before he thought to duck.
Tropes: Reluctant hero, meddling ghost, matchmaking, grumpy/sunshine, Victorian manners with a twist, romantic comedy
