When the new owners of Maplemead Castle need their ghostly inhabitants gone, they call Melody Bittersweet and her Ghostbusting Agency. Melody quickly identifies the main troublemaker: Britannia Lovell, a stunning trapeze artist who plunged to her death a century ago. But was it a tragic accident, or something far more sinister?To solve the mystery, Melody must team up with her charming yet roguish ex, Leo Dark, and the infuriating yet irresistible reporter, Fletcher Gunn. With a castle full of ghosts refusing to spill their secrets and her heart pulled in two directions, this is Melody’s toughest case yet.Can Melody help Britannia find peace and finally untangle her own love life, or will they both be haunted by past mistakes forever?

Seeing ghosts has always been part of Melody Bittersweet’s life – a quirky inconvenience at the best of times.But on her 27th birthday, she decides to finally make a career out of it by setting up her very own ghostbusting business.Her first case brings Melody to a house haunted by three brothers with a heap of unfinished business. To complicate matters, her fame-hungry ex, Leo Dark, and sceptical yet maddeningly gorgeous reporter, Fletcher Gunn, are also on the case.As Melody tries to uncover the truth, the undeniable chemistry between herself and Fletcher becomes increasingly distracting – which is less than ideal considering he's her sworn enemy hell-bent on discrediting her.Can Melody solve the mystery? Or will her feelings for Fletcher end up haunting her more than the ghosts?

A plucky medium, her fame-chasing ex, and an infuriatingly handsome skeptic reporter make for a complicated love triangle--and that's before the ghosts get involved. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of One Day in December comes the first novel in a ghost-hunting series full of romance and humor. Ghosts and spirits are business as usual, but love just might be enough to scare Melody Bittersweet. In the leafy, charming town of Chapelwick, the Bittersweet family has been a fixture on High Street for as long as anyone can remember. Their rambling black-and-white building houses all three generations of ghost-sensitive Bittersweet women and their business, Blithe Spirits. On her twenty-seventh birthday, Melody Bittersweet converts the disused back storeroom into her office and opens her own business. Unlike the rest of her family, she's not taking down messages from ghosts--she's taking them out. Right away, the freshly minted Girls' Ghostbusting Agency takes on its first case: a grand old house that won't sell because a trio of incumbent ghost brothers raise merry hell whenever prospective owners arrive to view it. It soon becomes clear that there's a whole heap of unfinished business between the Scarborough brothers--including murder--and Melody isn't the only one trying to unravel the mystery. Leo Dark, her rakish ex and business rival, is also on the case, along with the TV crew that trails him. To make matters worse, the sarcastic and skeptical (and annoyingly good-looking) local reporter Fletcher Gunn has his nose in the story as well. Sniffing out a way to publicly discredit the Bittersweets is his favorite assignment--and has absolutely nothing to do with his inability to resist Melody. With her business on the line, it's up to Melody to work out the brothers' issues, but can she protect her own very susceptible heart from Fletcher's charm? Does she even want to?

"A perfectly executed and quintessential romantic comedy."--Christina Lauren, author of The Unhoneymooners ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022--PopSugar Spending her thirtieth birthday alone is not what dating columnist Cleo Wilder wanted, but she plans a solo retreat―at the insistence of her boss―in the name of re-energizing herself and adding a new perspective to her column.

To mennesker. Et tilfeldig møte. En kjærlighetshistorie som varer livet ut. Å tilbringe 30-års dagen alene er det siste Cleo Wilder hadde sett for seg. Likevel har hun latt seg overtale av sjefen til å ta en retreat i lutter ensomhet for å lade batteriene og ikke minst gi seg selv en utfordring – det kan absolutt være nyttig når man har dating som journalistisk innfallsvinkel og skriver en spalte i uken om temaet. På en avsidesliggende irsk øy skal hun bo i en luksuriøs hytte, og hun ser – om ikke annet – frem til å nyte freden og tiden alene. Dette gir henne også tid til å planlegge videre kjærlig- hetsliv og karriere. Mack Sullivan gleder seg også til å få litt tid helt for seg selv. Han er amerikaner, og har kommet til øya både for å pleie sje- len og utforske røttene sine. Uheldigvis har det skjedd en dobbeltbooking. Og ferja går ikke på flere dager. Cleo og Mack som trodde de skulle få litt tid alene, blir nå tvunget til å dele den med hverandre. Josie Silvers velkjente varme, sjarm og innsikt i alt som berører hjertet kommer til sin fulle rett i En kveld på øya. Det viser seg ofte at det vi tror vi ønsker oss, ikke er det vi egentlig trenger!
