Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A brilliantly creative premise that treats grief with genuine respect while delivering a swoony slow burn between two emotionally guarded people. The paranormal elements are played straight, which makes the emotional beats hit harder.

Synopsis

"The livings join forces to help their specters — and each other — move on in this emotional, slow-burn romance."— New York Times Two people haunted by their exes find that love isn’t dead in this heartfelt romance from the beloved authors of The Roughest Draft . Morgan is being ghosted by her ex. No, really. It’s sad Zach died and became a ghost. But Morgan and Zach only ever went on the one date, and now she’s being haunted by him. Zach has no desire to spend eternity with Morgan, but he can’t recall his past and doesn’t know how to move on. At a support group for humans and their haunters, Morgan and Zach run into Sawyer, whose fiancée-turned-ghost has started to fade. Unlike Morgan, Sawyer isn’t ready to part ways with his ghost. Although they face opposite issues, Morgan and Sawyer decide to work together to solve their problems. As Morgan and Sawyer try to solve their paranormal conundrums together, they find something even more surprising—a tender, growing affection between them that threatens any unfinished business they’re seeking to close. The ghosts of their past might be there in spirit, but the connection between Morgan and Sawyer is as alive as anything they’ve ever felt.

At a Glance

Morgan is haunted by a ghost she barely dated. Sawyer is haunted by the fiancee he lost. They meet at a support group for the literally haunted and strike a deal to help each other move on—except moving on means moving toward each other. Wibberley and Siegemund-Broka treat grief with genuine tenderness while threading dry humor through the ghost mechanics. romance.io confirms 3/5 open door with 2-3 intimate scenes. Keep tissues within reach. Author corrected to include co-author Austin Siegemund-Broka—this is a writing duo.
