About this book

When Suze finally gets asked out by the charming and devastatingly cute Tad Beaumont, it feels like her California dreams are coming true—even if it means pushing aside her feelings for a certain brooding ghost who haunts her bedroom. But the universe (and a vengeful spirit) has other plans, because a murdered woman's ghost won't stop demanding justice, and her death is somehow tangled up with Tad's mysterious past. Now Suze has to navigate the minefield of a real first date while also solving a supernatural murder mystery, all while trying to ignore the jealous ghost literally watching from the sidelines. It's the ultimate test of whether Suze can have both romance and her ghost-hunting duties—or if the dead will always come between her and happiness.
