The Dead Romantics
The Dead Romantics Book Description
Florence Day is a talented ghost‑writer who has lost faith in love after a painful breakup. She is hired to finish a bestseller for a famous romance author, but her new editor, the striking Benji Andor, refuses to extend her deadline. As Florence races against time, a tragedy forces her back to her hometown, where a ghost appears on her porch—none other than Benji, now forever stuck between life and death. Sparks fly, jokes trade, and Florence must decide whether she can fall for a phantom who is still as sexy as ever. Meanwhile, the story asks whether love can truly die.
