Plus, her brand new editor, a pretty handsome one, won’t extend her deadline. Adding to the stress of her soon-to-be-ending career, her father just passed away and she has to return home after almost a decade away.

The welcome home to a town that calls her a freak isn’t the best. Telling them you see dead people kind of makes them think that. So when Florence spots a ghost in the doorway of her family’s funeral home who looks eerily like her new editor, she’s a little confused. 

There’s a ghostly constant in her life and it’s not her dad. Florence has to revert back to her old habits and figure out how to help him finish off his unfinished business so he can leave. It looks like romance truly is dead.
