β¦ Synopsis
A disillusioned millennial ghostwriter who, quite literally, has some ghosts of her own, has to find her way back home in this sparkling adult debut from national bestselling author Ashley Poston.
Florence Day is the ghostwriter for one of the most prolific romance authors in the industry, and she has a problemβafter a terrible breakup, she no longer believes in love. Itβs as good as dead.
When her new editor, a too-handsome mountain of a man, wonβt give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye. But then she gets a phone call she never wanted to receive, and she must return home for the first time in a decade to help her family bury her beloved father.
For ten years, sheβs run from the town that never understood her, and even though she misses the sound of a warm Southern night and her eccentric, loving family and their funeral parlor, she canβt bring herself to stay. Even with her father gone, it feels like nothing in this town has changed. And she hates it.
Until she finds a ghost standing at the funeral parlorβs front door, just as broad and infuriatingly handsome as ever, and heβs just as confused about why heβs there as she is.
Romance is most certainly dead . . . but so is her new editor, and his unfinished business will have her second-guessing everything sheβs ever known about love stories.
