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 came home from work the next night I was exhausted, but satisfied. The day's event had gone even better than expected. A local newspaper reporter had stopped by to interview me about the success of "Storytime" and had implied that we would receive front page coverage. Charlene was beyond ecstatic, and I felt as if I was on the right track with my career. 


As I pulled up to the house I was mentally calculating how many repairs to the house I would finally be able to afford, when I saw Scarlett huddled on my front porch. I could tell even from a distance that she wasn't her usual flawlessly put-together self. She had her head in her hands, and her beautiful red hair was pulled into a messy ponytail. Scarlett appeared, for a moment, as the lost teenager I had met in that group home so long ago, and it broke my heart.
