Charlotte is a shy librarian who moves into a house rumored to be haunted. She then unexpectedly meets the man of her dreams. Stephen is kind, handsome and brilliant. He understands her as no one else ever has. He is devoted to her, and she to him.

The only trouble is, Stephen  is a ghost. And nobody but Charlotte believes that he exists. Ghost of a Chance is a paranormal romance about a love that breaks all the rules. 

"I love you so very much, Charlotte. You kill me and bring me back to life again, all at once. It sounds like Shakespeare, and yet, that is what we have." The gentle touch of his fingertips on my skin sent fire throughout my entire body. I had to have him. I had never felt so alive. It was as if every fiber of my being was aching for him. I loved him, needed him, had to have him. He was my obsession, my addiction.   
"My need for you is a fever," he whispered, "And I pray that I never recover…"

Ghost of a Chance: A Haunting Romance

When I got up this morning, I decided to ask if I could take a walk in the gardens. In my old life, that would have been what I would do on a warm autumn morning like this. My house had the most beautiful garden. I had been working on restoring it to its former glory when I'd wound up in here, and I missed it. 


I wondered if anything could possibly have survived a year without being tended to. Maybe a perennial or two? I wasn't sure. As I was musing about that, to my surprise Dr. Feelgood appeared at my door, bearing coffee. 


"Good morning, Charlotte," he said, and handed me a real coffee, not from the asylum kitchen, but from the coffee house in town, "I thought you might enjoy something out of the ordinary this morning." I gratefully took the cup and inhaled the aroma of home. I'd gone to that coffee shop on my way to the library every day for YEARS, and I didn't realize how much I'd missed it.
