Harboring a Ghost: A Small-Town Paranormal Mystery Romance

by Jennifer Masters

About this book

Joe Adams has spent his life mastering the art of ignoring the dead, but his quiet existence in Dream Harbor shatters the moment he meets Ciara Eriksen. A sharp-witted, stubborn Victorian ghost who has haunted his pier since 1900, Ciara forces her way into his life by sabotaging a high-stakes public proposal. With his reputation in ruins and his sanity fraying, Joe strikes a desperate bargain: he will help solve the century-old mystery of her murder if she promises to leave him in peace forever.

What begins as a simple quest for silence quickly transforms into an impossible, forbidden romance that defies the boundaries of life and death. As they peel back the layers of a 125-year-old cold case, the chemistry between the modern-day fisherman and the ethereal beauty becomes impossible to ignore. Investigating the past forces them both to confront the heartache of their present reality, where every clue brings them closer to the truth—and closer to a permanent goodbye.

Blending a cozy historical mystery with a heart-wrenching paranormal love story, this novel is perfect for readers who crave witty banter and supernatural stakes. It is a poignant exploration of what it means to be truly seen, proving that sometimes the most haunting connections are the ones worth fighting for.
