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

I was back at work, and preparing for storytime when Ben tapped me on the shoulder. His grin was about a mile wide, and I couldn't imagine why he looked so excited. I was going to tease him about being potentially over-caffeinated when he surprised me. 


"Charlotte, I've got two tickets to the most amazing event tonight," Ben told me enthusiastically, "It's a formal dinner at Byrne Hall! The theme is, "Black and White Masquerade Ball". I've wanted to go forever!" 


I could see why. Byrne Hall was an historic mansion at what I liked to think of as the expensive part of town. They hosted events on a fairly regular basis, but the ticket prices were steep. I'd always wanted to attend one of their functions, but I just could never afford to do it. And even if I could, who would I take with me? The figment of my imagination that I was starting to believe Stephen might be?
