✦ Synopsis

Seeing ghosts isn’t so bad, but when one of the see-through set has plans for you ... .

Flame-haired Poppy Blue runs her own magick shop way, way up north, in a tourist stop and college town. Mostly she sells candles, crystal balls and some touristy items, reads a few palms, and has regular chats with her father's ghost, but Poppy is a hedge witch. Like her mother, the strong-willed and highly opinionated Fiona, she performs occasional feats of the amazing and the uncanny, largely on instinct.

One day a woman visits Poppy’s shop, worried for her son, Roger, who has never gotten over the death of his sister, Ivy, in an auto accident. Poppy discovers Ivy's ghost is still around, tied to this plane by Roger's unresolved grief – she can't move on until Roger moves on – and she wants Poppy to help. Poppy wants this, too, both to get the impulsive and antsy Ivy out of her bottle-red hair and because the witch is very attracted to Roger, with those icy blue eyes and broad shoulders of his. Plus he's a mechanic, so she can't help but wonder if he's good with his hands. Yes, her mind is wandering a bit... .

As Ivy is exploiting Poppy's abilities and compassion, discovering some fringe benefits to being a spirit and disrupting Poppy's life – and prospective love life – Poppy is trying to convince Roger to give up one very persistent ghost.
