Description

Cassie thought Boneyard Keys ghosts were tourist schtick, until her new home came with onebut can the attentions of the sexy coffee shop owner convince her to stay, instead of ghosting the town

Small Florida coastal towns often find themselves scrambling for the tourism dollars that the Orlando theme parks leave behind. And within the town limits of Boneyard Key, the residents decided long ago to lean into its ghostliness. Nick Royer, owner of the Hallowed Grounds coffee shop, embraces the ghost tourism that keeps the local economy afloat, as well as his spectral roommate. At least he doesnt have to run air-conditioning.

Cassie Rutherford possibly overreacted to all her friends getting married and having kids by leaving Orlando and buying a flipped historic cottage in Boneyard Key. Though theres something unusual with her new home (her laptop wont charge in any outlets, and the poetry magnets on her fridge definitely didnt read WRONG and MY HOUSE when she put them up), shes charmed by the colorful history surrounding her. And she's catching a certain vibe from the grumpy coffee shop owner whenever he slips her a free slice of banana bread along with her coffee order.

As Nick takes her on a ghost tour, sharing town gossip that tourists don't get to hear, and they spend nights side-by-side looking into the former owners of her haunted cottage, their connection solidifies into something very real and enticing. But Cassie's worried shes in too deep with this whole (haunted) home ownership thingand Nick's afraid to get too close in case Cassie gets scared away for good.

Reviews

Jen DeLuca does it again! Like your favorite iced latte from the hot barista who totally hates you (but not really), Haunted Ever After is the most delicious mix of chilling haunts and sweetened kisses to perk you right up. Its the perfect read for all the October girls who have to suffer through summer at the beach. A spirited, sexy read!Ashley Poston, New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics

"I, too, want a ghost roommate (and Nick's banana bread and hazelnut lattes) in a charming beach town where the dead linger and the living locals know all the best secret spots. Haunted Ever After is so much fun, with characters that feel real, spooky vibes mixed with small-town sweetness, and an intriguing dash of mystery. Just like its invisible residents, I never want to leave Boneyard Key."Sarah Hogle, author of Old Flame and New Fortunes
