Short description

Sensible Bea Sinclaire has two secret passions: gothic novels and Lord Peter Cheriot. Trapped in a haunted castle with both a wicked ghost and the man of her dreams, she’s having the adventure of her life! But the specter is determined to wed Bea on All Hallows’ Eve, and it’s fast approaching. In the race to claim the heart of one daring lady, it’s every man—and ghost—for himself.

Extended description

Sensible, practical Beatrice Sinclaire has two secret passions: gothic novels and Lord Peter Cheriot, the man her beautiful sister left heartbroken years ago. When Bea’s scapegrace twin, Thomas, begs her help to rescue a maiden from a haunted castle, Bea jumps at the opportunity for real adventure. If only Lord Cheriot didn’t insist on protecting her! How can she maintain a clear head in the face of terrible danger when his breathtaking allure scrambles every thought but the need to be in his arms?

Devastatingly handsome and a master horseman, Lord Cheriot may be the catch of the London season, but he has only ever loved one woman, Bea Sinclaire. And he’s determined to have her. He doesn’t count on a meddling ghost whose demand for a virgin bride threatens Bea in the direst manner. But the specter has a deadline, All Hallows' Eve, and it’s fast approaching. In the race to capture the heart of one daring lady, it’s every man—and ghost—for himself.
